The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is the national governing body of cricket in England and Wales.^[3] It was formed on 1 January 1997 as a single governing body to combine the roles formerly fulfilled by the Test and County Cricket Board, the National Cricket Association and the Cricket Council.^[4] In April 1998 the Women's Cricket Association was integrated into the organisation.^[5] The ECB's head offices are at Lord's Cricket Ground in north-west London.^[6]

The board oversees all levels of cricket in England and Wales, including the national teams: England Men (Test, One Day International and T20I), England Women, England Lions (Men's second tier), Physical Disability, Learning Disability, Visually Impaired, and Deaf.

Although the organisation is the England and Wales Cricket Board, it is referred to as the ECB, not the EWCB, as a result of a decision by those overseeing the transition from the previous bodies.^[7]
