Augustus Gregoire Premier Cricket League

Augustus Gregoire Premier Cricket League is the top domestic competition of the Dominica Cricket Association (DCA), named for Augustus Gregoire, a Dominican wicketkeeper-batsman of the late 1960s. The league anchors the island’s elite club calendar with a two-day format that develops red-ball skills for national selection. White-ball fixtures are slotted during the season for one-day and T20 readiness, and pre-season ball-o-rama events are used to launch campaigns. Title sponsorships have included corporate partners such as Digicel. Public announcements typically release fixtures, venue rotations, and mid-season updates, keeping clubs active across Roseau and the districts.

Teams, Venues, and Results

Regular clubs include Tremors, Colts, St Paul’s Academy, Jay’s Dublanc, Marinor, and Police Sports Club, among others. Matches are staged at Windsor Park Sports Stadium in Roseau, Benjamin’s Park in Portsmouth, and the Botanical Gardens, Roseau, reflecting both the modern national venue and historic grounds. Notable seasons reports show Tremors as a consistent force, with championships and finals appearances, including a 2016 title and a 2020 final against Colts, plus several innings victories during that two-day campaign. Earlier fixture notes confirm an established premier schedule by 2011, illustrating continuity of top-tier club cricket on the island.

Naming and Legacy

The competition’s name honors Augustus Gregoire, linking today’s club cricket to a Windward Islands representative who helped shape the sport’s local identity. By carrying his name, the league embeds historical memory within the contemporary pathway from club to island representation.
