The University and Grange Cricket Clubs merged in 1986-87 with immediate success. Both clubs had plenty of success beforehand, winning or sharing a combined 28 senior titles before coming together to claim a title in their first year together.

Grange, which was formed in 1880, won its first title in 1888-89 and collected or shared in another four titles before the dawn of the 20th century. It won four consecutive titles in the early 1920s and back-to-back titles in 1948-49 and 1949-50. Its last title as a separate club was in 1981-82. In all it won or shared in 23 senior titles.

University had a long history as well and won three consecutive titles from 1968-1970.

University-Grange is working towards restoring that title-winning success, and want to return to the scenes of their last triumph as a club in 2003-04.

The club has had a number of successful alumnus, including internationals (White Ferns captain Suzie Bates, Black Cap Will Somerville, ex-Black Cap Aaron Redmond and Sarah Tsukigawa) as well as domestic representatives (Andrew Hore, Sam Wells and Michael Bracewell).

In the 2018-19 the club fielded a team in the senior grade competition for the first time in four years. Since then the club has seen significant growth along with some outstanding results. The club as a whole is very excited to see what can be achieved in the 2023/24 season.
