Cricket Australia Posts Record Surplus Amid Ashes and India Series Revenue
Cricket Australia reported a record revenue of A$601.1 million and a net surplus of A$81.8 million for the 2025-26 financial year, driven by strong commercial returns from the Ashes and limited-overs series against India. Despite this success, the board expects losses in 2026-27 and 2027-28 due to a cyclical decline in media rights and match revenues aligned with the international touring schedule. The Ashes attracted record attendance, though two-day Tests at Perth and Melbourne led to some financial setbacks. Sponsorship and non-broadcast revenues helped offset losses, with future sustainability a key focus.
