Our Story

The International Cricket Association of Tampa (ICAT) was founded in 2006 with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring together cricket enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds and create a thriving cricket community in the Tampa Bay area.

Our journey of nearly two decades reflects our commitment to excellence, community building, and the development of cricket at all levels - from youth programs to competitive adult leagues.
