The Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) was established in 1912 by Portuguese businessmen of British Guiana (including M. Gonsalves, E.C. Buck and Joseph Gonsalves), who were not allowed to be members of the British-dominated Georgetown Cricket Club in its early years. DCC too restricted its membership in its early years – to Portuguese only.
In 2009, DCC won the national club 20/20 competition and participated in the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) Regional Twenty20 cricket competition in Trinidad.
In July 2012 DCC celebrated its centenary year. Celebrations included a visit by the Atlantis Cricket Club of New York, a fund-raising costume party, a dinner and ball by the Hotel Tower pool side, and other activities.
