North Sydney District Cricket Club is a cricket club in Sydney, Australia. The Bears, as they are known, were founded in 1858 playing clubs such as Callen Park Mental Hospital. North Sydney joined the Sydney Grade Cricket Competition as an initial member in 1893. This makes them 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. In the 1980s, North Sydney Council purchased some old grandstands from the Sydney Cricket Ground during its re-development, and relocated them to North Sydney Oval. In the 1980s, the club and community recognised the potential of the Miller St location and worked with the then North Sydney Mayor and current club Patron Ted Mack to develop the ground, enhancing its historic character.
The clubs most famous players include Sir Donald Bradman, Bill O'Reilly, Keith Miller, Stan McCabe, Stuart MacGill, Trevor Chappell, Doug Walters, Sid Barnes, Charles Macartney, Kerry O'Keeffe, Phil Marks, and Scott Hookey.
