NRMA Insurance, A Help Company, is launching its 2025 Community Cricket Club Grants Program, to help local clubs build community connection.

NRMA Insurance, now in its third year of partnership with Cricket Australia, is celebrating the important role that grass roots cricket plays in building community connection and resilience right across the country.

On the eve of what is expected to be a blockbuster summer test series, NRMA Insurance is offering twelve $5,000 grants to local cricket clubs, encouraging winners to use the funds to further bring their community together, and to foster and strengthen connection - through events, gala days or family days.

Australian test cricketing great Nathan Lyon, speaking at a recent community cricket event, highlighted the importance of community cricket clubs in his life and the contribution they make to local communities across the country:

“Community cricket is where I planted my roots, I learnt so much in those years playing for my local clubs in country New South Wales and Canberra, especially the importance of teamwork and enjoying the game. I made some great friends, and we were a close-knit community who supported each other through the wins and losses, both on and off the cricket field.
