North Sydney District Cricket Club was founded in 1858. Initially the Bears played clubs such as Callan Park. North Sydney joined the Sydney Grade Cricket (now NSW Premier Cricket) Competition as a founding member in 1893. This makes the Bears one of the oldest elite clubs in Sydney.
The club's home ground is the famous North Sydney Oval where it has remained since its inception. The club also play at Bon Andrews, adjacent to North Sydney Oval in St Leonards Park, and the picturesque Tunks Park in Northbridge.
The UTS North Sydney Bears incepted a senior women's cricket program in 2018/19, which has gone from strength to strength. We won the second grade premiership at the first time of asking in 2023/24 and defended the trophy in 2024/25.
In 2018, North Sydney joined forces with the University of Technology Sydney to provide young cricketers with the opportunity to combine their passion for cricket with their tertiary studies.
