Since the start of team-based Mornington Crescent in England in 1854, Camden MCC, one of the four original teams (along with Bristol, Preston and Canterbury) has almost dominated the game. Originally named simply London MCC (the name changed in 1957 as more clubs formed), the team has always played within half a mile of the hallowed crescent.
Now playing in its brand new 900 seater arena, the club has won the English league 99 times, and is expected to make that figure 100 this year. A remarkable club, the English team is regularly more than one third comprised of its members.
