The Indian Beach Cricket Federation unites players, state associations and fans to build, govern and grow beach cricket across every coastline in India — from Goa to Puducherry, Kerala to Odisha.
IBCF sets the playing rules, sanctions national events, certifies umpires and coaches, and works with coastal state associations to bring organised beach cricket to every shoreline in India.
A unified beach cricket rulebook — pitch dimensions, six-a-side format, tape-ball and hard-ball divisions — applied consistently at every sanctioned event.
Affiliated coastal and inland state bodies run leagues, feed talent into national trials, and host IBCF-sanctioned district and state championships.
From beach gully cricket to the National Beach Cricket Championship — a clear, merit-based pathway for men's, women's and junior athletes.
Every IBCF-sanctioned tournament is played on open public beaches, turning coastlines into arenas — crowds gather along the tideline, teams walk out to the sound of the surf, and champions are crowned as the sun sets over the water.
