Uttara Sporting Club is a cricket team in Bangladesh, named after the suburb of Uttara in the north-west of Dhaka. They were one of the twelve teams to take part in the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 Cricket League and the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League.[1][2]

In February 2019, they won their opening fixture of the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 Cricket League, beating Khelaghar Samaj Kallyan Samity by six wickets.[3] The following month, they won their opening match of the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, beating Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club by 9 runs.[4] However, following the conclusion of the group stage fixtures, the team finished bottom of the table, and therefore moved to the Relegation League playoffs section of the tournament.[5][6] In the relegation playoffs, they finished in second place of the three teams, and were relegated to the sub-List-A First Division for the next season.[7]
