In 2023, it was granted Grade II listed status to recognise its exceptional architectural features and significant place in the history of cricket and sporting events in the North West.
The club offers excellent cricket, squash, tennis, hockey, bowls, lacrosse, and rugby facilities for members. In addition to sports, Aigburth Cricket Ground offers three popular function rooms for year-round hire.
