Dawson was born at Invercargill in the Southland Region of New Zealand in 1989, the son of Garth Dawson.[1] His father played first-class cricket for Otago and in the Hawke Cup for Southland,[2][3] and his grandfather Brian Dawon stood as an umpire in first-class cricket in New Zealand.[4] Educated at Southland Boys' High School, Dawson made his Hawke Cup debut for Southland at the age of 16, scoring a century on debut. He was named in a New Zealand under-17 squad.[2]
After playing age-group cricket for Otago between 2004–05 and 2006–07, Dawson took up a scholarship to study at the Canterbury University. He played club cricket for St Albans Cricket Club in Christchurch and played for the Canterbury A side without breaking through into the provincial team until the 2014–15 season.[5][2] He played in a total of six first-class matches for the side, scoring 239 runs, including two half-centuries.[1]
