Hertfordshire County Cricket Club was established on 8 March 1876. It has since played minor counties cricket from 1895 and played List A cricket from 1964 to 2004, using a different number of home grounds during that time. Their first home minor counties fixture in 1895 was against Norfolk at Cricketfield Lane, Bishop's Stortford, while their first home List A match came 71 years later against Berkshire in the 1966 Gillette Cup at the Lucas Lane, Hitchin.
