This is a list of all first-class cricket matches played between the Gentlemen and Players between 1806 and 1962. Unless otherwise stated, all matches were scheduled for three days' duration and eleven-a-side.
Note that there is considerable disagreement about when first-class cricket as such began, with various dates having been put forward between 1772 and 1895, while some definitions of first-class cricket require that such a match be arranged between teams of eleven-a-side. Thus, some of the early matches in this list are not considered first-class by some authorities.
Three matches were cancelled: The first, scheduled to start on 7 September 1914 at Scarborough, was cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I. The second, scheduled to start on 9 July 1930 at The Oval, was cancelled due to fixture issues surrounding the County Championship and a second match scheduled (and subsequently played) at Lord's a week later. The third, scheduled to start on 6 September 1939 at Scarborough, was cancelled due to the outbreak of World War II.
