Essex Cricket are proud to unveil a commemorative logo to celebrate 100 years of playing cricket at the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground, Chelmsford.

The special edition design pays tribute to the incredible journey from our first match at the ground on 20 June 1925 against Oxfordshire to the present day on the eve of the 2025 season.

To mark the centenary, Essex Cricket will be hosting a series of special events on matchdays, exclusive merchandise featuring the commemorative logo and, for the first time, a live music event hosted at the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground.

Since that first game in 1925, Chelmsford has witnessed some of the most defining moments in Essex Cricket history. From County Championship trophy lifts to unforgettable T20 nights, the ground has been the stage for countless memorable performances. This landmark anniversary offers the perfect opportunity to reflect on the past while looking ahead to an exciting future in the men’s game and the launch of the Essex Women’s professional team.

“We will be heading in a very special anniversary year for the Club in 2026, but we have an opportunity this season to celebrate our home in Chelmsford, which has played a crucial role in our journey.”

We look forward to sharing this historic season with our fans, players, and partners as we continue to build upon our legacy at the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground.
