The MCC has historically been one of the stronger performing men's clubs in Victorian Premier Cricket with a rich history of premiership success across all four grades.

A First XI premiership in 2009/10 broke the men’s 12-year drought and that was  followed up with another in 2012/13, a year that brought phenomenal success. The then captain-coach Andrew Kent led the club to the First and Third XI premierships, the Club Championship, as well as First, Second and Third XI one-day flags and First and Third XI Twenty20 titles.

The First XI was awarded the premiership in 2019/20. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a grand final was not played; Melbourne was given the title as the highest ranked team.

The Seconds won our first women’s title, the Twenty20 in 2015/16, and backed that up by claiming the one-day and Twenty20 double in 2016/17. After a couple of near misses, the women won their inaugural First XI premiership in the 2018/19 Premier one-day competition in just the seventh season of their existence. The same year, the club won the first Club Championship awarded in women’s Premier cricket.    

In 2021/22, a decade since women’s cricket was born at the MCC, the Club completed a stunning clean sweep of the Premier Cricket competition under the guidance of foundation player and now captain-coach Teagan Parker, taking out premierships in the Firsts, Seconds, Thirds and Female Under 18 competitions, as well as winning the Club Championship.

In April 2013, all-rounder Brenton McDonald became just the second MCC cricketer, after Warren Ayres, to win the Jack Ryder medal as the Premier Cricket competition's best player.

In the 2016/17 season, Hayley Jensen’s all-round skills saw her became the first MCC player to take out the highest women’s cricket individual honours, the Una Paisley medal. Hayley’s success was emulated just two seasons later in 2018/19 when Amy Yates’ outstanding season (680 runs and 35 wickets) saw her crowned as the Una Paisley medallist. Rhiann O'Donnell added her name to the list of outstanding cricketers to win the medal from Melbourne when she took it home in 2020/21.
