Bermuda has a vibrant sporting community, with most weekends filled with regular football, rugby, and cricket games across the island. One of Bermuda’s cultural highlights is the annual Cup Match in mid-summer and celebrates emancipation on the island. The two-day cricket game sees rival teams, St. George’s Cricket Club and Somerset Cricket Club, battle it out. Every year the game switches between Wellington Oval in St. George’s and Somerset Cricket Club, and the grounds are filled with spectators and festivities celebrating the long holiday weekend. The Cup Match will take place August 3–4, 2023, at St. George’s Cricket Club.
