The Calcutta Cricket and Football Club (CCFC) is a cricket and association football club in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), West Bengal, India. It was started in 1792 as the Calcutta Cricket Club by British expatriates who had come over with the British East India Company. The club is regarded as the oldest cricket club outside of the British Isles.

The Calcutta Cricket Club merged with the Calcutta Football Club and the Ballygunge Cricket Club over the years to become the Calcutta Cricket and Football Club.

There have been various claims over the exact date that the club was founded. The most widely accepted date is 1792, on the basis that the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, the de-facto authority on cricket matters, has certified this due to a score-card reported by the Madras Courier between the Calcutta Cricket Club against Dum Dum and Barrackpore. ^[1]

However there have been claims that the club was in existence in 1780 as referenced in a local newspaper. If this claim was verified it would make the club older than even the Marylebone Cricket Club in London.
