Cricket was originally scheduled to be included in the inaugural 1896 Summer Olympics, which were held in Athens; cricket would have been the only team sport held at the Games. There were, however, insufficient entries and so no event was held.

USA Cricket is an organization in development that seeks to unify the United States-based cricket community and become the sole U.S. governing body for the sport of cricket recognized by both the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). Through a diverse Board of Directors, that will be elected by April 2018 and have representation from most cricket stakeholder groups, USA Cricket hopes to lead the sport to new heights by creating and administering value added programs to grow and develop the sport at all levels.
