Cricinfo is the largest cricket-related website. It includes news and articles, live scorecards, and a comprehensive and queriable database of historical matches and players from the 18th century to the present.

Cricinfo (originally CricInfo) was launched in 1993 by Simon King, a British researcher at the University of Minnesota, and grew thanks to the help of students and researchers at universities around the world. It initially operated as a volunteer-based collective, and started life as a simple IRC bot. It was soon made available via Gopher as well, and with the advent of the Mosaic web browser in April 1993 became one of the earliest content web sites on the Internet.

Cricinfo's continued growth ultimately resulted in it becoming a part of the Wisden group in 2003, when Cricinfo merged with Wisden Online. It is one of the most popular single-sport websites. It has offices in London, England, Sydney, Australia and Mumbai, India. The current editor is Sambit Bal.
