Tasmania vs Victoria
1846-12-16
On 11-12 February 1851 the first inter-colonial cricket match in Australia was played between Tasmania (then Van Diemen's Land) and Victoria at Launceston, but the cricket culture from which it grew had been put together in the 1840s — with the Melbourne Cricket Club founded in 1838, the first match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1853, and Sydney clubs playing each other from the early 1840s. Cricket was, by the end of the 1840s, the dominant summer game in every Australian colony.
Officers vs Civilians

On 29 January 1824 a cricket match was played at Hobart between officers of the Van Diemen's Land garrison and a civilian side — the earliest documented cricket fixture in Tasmania and the second-earliest in Australia (after Sydney 1804). The fixture is the foundation entry of Tasmanian cricket and the second link in the early Australian cricket map.
