Toombul District Cricket Club is an Australian cricket club based in Nundah, Queensland, in the city of Brisbane.
The Toombul District Cricket Club (Toombul DCC or simply TDCC) is a Queensland Cricket Association cricket club which competes in the pinnacle cricket league in Queensland, the Queensland Premier Cricket competition.
The Queensland Premier Cricket competition has grade levels from First Grade to Sixth Grade, with Toombul fielding teams across 6 grades, as well as an U/18's and an U/16 Taverners side. Toombul also has a comprehensive junior club, Toombul DCC - Juniors which fields age-group sides from under 6's to under 16's, and a Milo in2Cricket programme.
Toombul is equal with Souths as the most successful cricket club in Queensland, having secured 21 First Grade premierships in its history, the most recent coming in the 2012/13 season.
Toombul is one of the oldest sporting clubs in Australia, with records dating the club back to 1882. In 1897/98, Toombul was one of the founding clubs of what has continued to be the highest level of club cricket played in Queensland, currently the Queensland Premier Cricket grade competition.
Toombul has been a breeding ground for Test and First Class representatives over the years, and those from Toombul form a who's who of famous cricketing names (including three of Bradman's 1948 Invincibles).
