An original aim of the ACS was to produce a definitive list of first-class matches that all historians and statisticians could use.
Between 1976 and 1989, ACS members with a specialist interest in this area worked to produce a series of Guides to matches in each country. These Guides give details of all the matches in each country that, after thorough consideration, the ACS concluded should be regarded as 'first-class'. They also explain the decisions taken regarding the status of particular 'difficult' or borderline matches or series of matches.
These guides are now being made available here.
Each book will open in a separate window or tab.
