Northamptonshire have announced pre-tax profit of almost \u00a3487,000 for the year ending 31 January 2026.<\/p>\n

In a statement,, external<\/a> Northants revealed their \u00a3486,740 profit was “enhanced” by a \u00a3413,333 payment from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) arising from “certain host counties selling all or part of their interest in their respective Hundred franchises”.<\/p>\n

A directors’ report stated gate revenues remained “resilient”, supported by a run to finals day in the 2025 T20 Blast.<\/p>\n

“The injection provided by the Hundred monies has given us a financial platform on which to plan,” wrote the club’s chair Gary Hoffman. <\/p>\n

“Albeit that Northamptonshire’s relevance in the domestic structure continues to be challenged by The Hundred competition.<\/p>\n

“This long-term plan has enabled us to make choices on and off the field with more confidence, and we have invested responsibly to compete in all formats and in facilities.”<\/p>\n

Chief executive Ray Payne said: “2025 should be viewed as another successful year for the club, both on and off the field. <\/p>\n

“The appointment of Darren Lehmann as our men’s head coach, together with David Ripley as head coach of the newly formed Steelbacks Women, has strengthened our cricket leadership, and I am confident that greater success on the field will follow.”<\/p>\n

Northants’ statement comes after the club announced in May<\/a> that it had agreed to purchase Brixworth Cricket Club’s ground for its academy and women’s and disabled teams.<\/p>\n

The club have resided at the County Ground in Abington since 1886.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Northamptonshire have announced pre-tax profit of almost \u00a3487,000 for the year ending 31 January 2026.
