The team is selected and supported by Northern Cape Cricket and plays its home games at the De Beers Diamond Oval in Kimberley.
For the purposes of the SuperSport (now Sunfoil) Series, Griqualand West merged with Free State to form the VKB Knights (originally the Diamond Eagles) from October 2004, but Griqualand West (renamed Northern Cape in 2015) has retained its independent status as a team in the CSA Provincial Competitions.
[1][2][3] Beginning as Kimberley Cricket Club, the team is first recorded in the 1884–85 season playing in the Champion Bat Tournament.
As a result of those victories, Kimberley were awarded the new Currie Cup as the most accomplished domestic team in South Africa.
[9] In 1904, Griqualand West was one of the three founding members of the South African Coloured Cricket Board (SACCB).
