Founded in 1854, the Richmond Cricket Club home ground was for most of its history the Richmond Cricket Ground (better known as the Punt Road Oval), a few hundred metres to the east of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It was a founding member of the Victorian District/Premier Cricket competition in 1906/07.
In 2011, the club moved its home base from Richmond to Central Reserve in Glen Waverley. It continued to be known as Richmond until the 2012/13 season. From the 2013/14 season until the 2019/20 season, the club traded as the Monash Tigers but legally remained known as the Richmond Cricket Club. Since the start of the 2020/21 season the club returned to the "Richmond Cricket Club" name while still playing out of Central Reserve.[1]
