Empire Cricket Club is a cricket club in Barbados. The club plays in Barbados Cricket Association Division 1 championship. The club was formed on 24 May 1914—Empire Day—from which it took its name. The club was formed by disaffected members of Spartan Cricket Club. The founders of the club left Spartan after it had refused membership to the Barbadian cricketer Herman Griffith in 1913 on the grounds of his low social class.
