Outwood Cricket Club (founded in 1887^[1] by Roger Cook)^[2] is a cricket club in the village of Outwood, Surrey, England.

The club plays on a grass wicket in National Trust woodland, for which it pays a peppercorn rent.

The club fields several teams across three different English counties given the village location near the boundaries of Kent, Surrey and Sussex.^[3]

The Saturday 1st XI and 2nd XI play league cricket in the Kent County Village League (KCVL). The 1st XI won Division 1 of the KCVL three years in a row: 2022, 2023 and 2024.^[4] The Outwood Outlaws play in the Surrey Slam T20 competition, winning the Plate competition in 2022.^[5]

The women's team, the Outwood Blazes, compete in the Surrey Slam, Surrey SmashIT! and the Surrey Cricket Women's League.
The Sunday XI play friendly games including midweek T20s.
The club has an academy on Thursday evenings throughout the summer for ages 6–16.

The club benefits from modern facilities: the original Victorian-era pavilion was rebuilt in 2011, and has two AstroTurf nets installed in 2015.
