Abstract
This study aims to investigate experiences with cricket at the Bangu Atlético Clube between the club’s foundation in 1904 and 1912 - the last year when several events related to cricket were held. Two types of sources were used: periodicals published in Rio de Janeiro and minutes of the club’s meetings. We suggest that this article may broaden our understanding of: the conformation of sport in the city by addressing an area still little researched; the particularities of the cultural transit process by approaching a sport that has been little researched; strategies of sociability of an important group of foreigners - the British.
