Queensland Premier Cricket is the top cricket competition played in Queensland, Australia. The competition was founded under the name Brisbane Electoral Cricket in 1897 and eventually came to be known as Brisbane Grade Cricket, but has since expanded to take in teams from Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Ipswich.
As of the 2019/20 season there were six grades in the Two-Day Bulls Masters competition.[1] In addition to the two-day Grade competition there is also a One-Day competition for the John McKnoulty Cup and a T20 competition for the Tom Veivers Trophy.[2] There is also a women's One-Day competition for the Katherine Raymont Shield contested by eight sides as of the 2020/21 season,[3] and a women's T20 competition under Queensland Premier Cricket.[4]
Easts-Redlands are the reigning First Grade premiers, and Gold Coast are the reigning premiers in both the One Day and T20 competitions.
