The Laws of Cricket

The game of cricket has been governed by a series of Codes of Law for over 250 years. Since its formation in 1787, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has been recognised as the sole authority for drawing up the Code and all subsequent amendments. The club also holds the World copyright.

In 2000, the MCC revised and re-wrote the Laws for the new Millenium. You can view these Laws in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) format at this link.
