The Club was founded as the "Calcutta Cricket Club Clippers" by [[United Kingdom|British]] [[expatriates]] who had come over with the [[British East India Company]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100611152849/http://www.banglacricket.com/History/timeline.php Timeline of Bangladesh Cricket] on Bangladesh Cricket site (Archive, 11 Jun 2010)</ref> It is known to have been in existence by 1792.<ref name=history>[https://ccfc1792.com/history.php History of the club] on CC&FC website</ref><ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/152361.html Some dates] in [[Cricket in India|Indian cricket]] history, [[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden 1967]] on ESPN Crickinfo</ref>

During its first years of existence, the Calcutta Cricket Club played its home games near river Hooghly but it was not until 1841 when the institution got land to establish its venue.
