1861 English cricket season
1861 was the 75th season of cricket in England since the foundation of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Sheffield Cricket Club oversaw the creation of the match fund committee that would become Yorkshire County Cricket Club."7 March". A Match Fund Committee to run Yorkshire county matches was established in Sheffield, which had been the home of Yorkshire cricket for nearly 100 years. It was from this fund that Yorkshire County Cricket Club was founded two years later: an exact parallel with the formation of Sussex County Cricket Club from a similar fund (1836–1839).
