Burgher Recreation Club is a first-class cricket and hockey club based in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

History

The club was founded on 26 December 1896 as the Bambalapitya Recreation Club, with membership restricted to the Burgher community. The first president was A. W. Raffel, the honourary secretary O. H. Poppenback and the club captain V. O. Wright. The club won its first cricket match on 9 November 1901.

In 1902 the club moved from Bambalapitiya to Havelock Park. On 31 May 1915 the club changed its name to the Burgher Recreation Club. In 1925 the club was adjudged cricket champions. In 1947 B. R. Heyn was appointed the captain of the Sri Lanka national cricket team. In the 1950s the club opened its membership to the wider community. The club won its first P. Saravanamuttu Trophy in the 1955–56 season.

The club competed at first-class level in the Premier Trophy from 1988 to 1989 to 2012–13, but lost its first-class status when the number of teams in the competition was reduced from 20 to 14 after the 2012–13 season. It is eligible for promotion back to first-class status, depending on its results in non-first-class competitions.
