1791 English cricket season

The emergence of the Brighton club in the 1791 English cricket season heralded a brief revival of Sussex cricket, which had been prominent during the early 18th century. As with Hornchurch Cricket Club and Essex, the Brighton team was a fair representation of Sussex as a county, and the county name is used where the opposition is another county team or England. The club's venue was the Prince of Wales Ground in Brighton, which had its name changed over the years and was known as Box's Ground in the 19th century. Details of 26 matches are known, but few were important.
