The club began as the North Melbourne Cricket Club, and was one of the inaugural Victorian district cricket clubs in 1906/07. It played its home games at the Arden Street Oval in North Melbourne for many years.
In 1985/86, North Melbourne entered a trial amalgamation with the sub-district Geelong Cricket Club, which lasted for three seasons. Geelong has since established a premier cricket team in its own right.[1]
In 2013, North Melbourne merged with turf cricket's Greenvale Cricket Club, to become the Greenvale Kangaroos. The club moved to the Greenvale Recreation Reserve in Greenvale from the 2013/14 season.[2]
The club has never won a First XI district/premier cricket premiership in any form of the game; it and Frankston Peninsula, which joined the competition during the 1990s, are the only current clubs with this distinction.[3]
