The 2018 Marylebone Cricket Club University Matches were a series of cricket matches played between the eighteen County Championship teams and the six Marylebone Cricket Club University teams (MCCU) of England and Wales.[1] The first two rounds of fixtures were classed as first-class matches.[2] Each county side were scheduled to play one fixture against a MCCU side ahead of the start of the 2018 County Championship.[3] All the fixtures in the competition were affected by bad weather, with matches either ending in a draw, due to play not being possible because of rain, or in some cases, abandoned with no play possible across all three days.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
