This is a list of cricketers who played first-class cricket for the Taranaki cricket team in New Zealand.[1] Taranaki played a total of eight first-class matches between the 1882–83 season and 1897–98. After a single match against Auckland in March 1883, the side did not play another first-class match for nine seasons. The other seven first-class matches came between the 1891–92 season and 1897–98.[2] The team competed in the Hawke Cup competition for minor associations from 1926–27, following the amalgamation of the North Taranaki and South Taranaki sides which had played in the competition since the inaugural season in 1910–11.
Players are listed with the seasons in which they played. Some players also appeared in first-class or Hawke Cup matches for other sides.
