The '''Europeans cricket team''' was an Indian [[first-class cricket]] team which took part in the annual [[Bombay Quadrangular|Bombay tournament]]. The team was founded by members of the European community in [[Bombay]] who played cricket at the [[Bombay Gymkhana]].<br />
<br />
The Europeans were involved in the Bombay tournament from its outset in 1877, when they accepted a challenge from the [[Parsees cricket team]] to a two-day match. At this time, the competition was known as the Presidency Match. They played first-class matches from 1892 to 1948.<br />
<br />
There was also a European team composed of European cricketers from [[Madras Presidency]] who played in the [[Madras Presidency Matches]].<br />
