Glamorgan County Cricket Club
Glamorgan County Cricket Club () is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Glamorgan (). Founded in 1888, Glamorgan held minor status at first and was a prominent member of the early Minor Counties Championship before the First World War. In 1921, the club joined the County Championship and the team was elevated to first-class status, subsequently playing in every top-level domestic cricket competition in England and Wales.

Glamorgan began their Twenty20 Cup with a win against eventual champions Somerset Sabres after losing fewer wickets than the Sabres, but lost the next four matches, and after the fifth was rained off they were ensured of not qualifying for the quarter-final stage - although their 5 July win over Gloucestershire Gladiators was one of the main reasons Gloucestershire didn't qualify. Their last match with Worcestershire was without any real importance for either team, as both teams were knocked out, but Worcestershire were still allowed to make the fourth-highest score in Twenty20 Cup history - totalling 223.
