Waringstown Cricket Club is a cricket club in Waringstown, County Down, Northern Ireland, playing in the NCU Premier League.

The club was formed in 1851 by Captain Thomas Waring and the Henning brothers, John and George, presumably from the linen factory of John Henning & Co. in the Waringstown village. The Lawn is believed to be the second oldest cricket ground in Ulster. Waringstown was a founder member of the NCU Senior League in 1897.[1]
