Umpiring in New South Wales

Umpiring is open to people of all genders, backgrounds, and life stages.

 

NSWCUSA members include students, professionals, parents, and retirees - some are looking to stay connected to a game they love, some are looking to stay active, give back to their community, earn extra income, or looking to do something whilst their children play.

​

Umpires are an integral part of the game, ensuring fairness, safety, and excitement for all involved. Umpiring cricket also helps to develop essential skills including leadership, sharp decision-making, effective communication, and adaptability. Whatever your reason, if you’re interested in being part of the game and contributing to cricket in NSW, there’s a place for you umpiring anywhere across New South Wales.

​

There are a number of options for you to gain an accreditation to umpire, or to simply gain some extra knowledge about Australia's favourite sport:
