The United States of America Cricket Association (USACA), headquartered at Miami Beach is the national governing body for all cricket in the United States. The board was formed in 1965.
USACA is a affiliate member of the International Cricket Council. USACA was suspended on 26 June 2015 from the ICC because of long term governance and financial problems
In 1965 John Marder started the United States of America Cricket Association. The United States of America Cricket Association was admitted as an associate member of the International Cricket Conference in 1965. This was the same group that had been so integral in keeping the United States out of international cricket when formed in 1909. The United States was also able to participate in the ICC Trophy when the tournament started in 1979. They have been successful and have continued to improve. Unfortunately, the administration of the USACA has proved unable to administer the sport in the United States effectively. This has led to suspensions from tournaments and ineligibilities.
The USACA announced in July 2009 it was inviting proposals from prospective sponsors, broadcasters and game development partners to help it launch the American Premier League, an Indian Premier League style Twenty20 league tournament.
The board announced in December 2010 it had signed a $10 million deal with New Zealand Cricket and several strategic investors are stakeholders, creating a new body called Cricket Holdings America to manage all commercial rights for cricket in USA, including Twenty20 rights, in perpetuity
In January 2011, USACA was awarded the top prize in the Junior Participation Initiative category by the ICC America's region in the 2010 Pepsi ICC Development Programme Awards for the United States Youth Cricket Association's Schools Program.
No American Premier League matches were played in 2010, and in April 2011 no further matches have been announced.
In January 2011, USACA was awarded the top prize in the Junior Participation Initiative category by the ICC America's region in the 2010 Pepsi ICC Development Program Awards for the United States Youth Cricket Association's Schools Program.
