Named after its founder, Thomas Lord, it is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and serves as the home of Middlesex County Cricket Club, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), ICC Europe and, until August 2005, the International Cricket Council (ICC). Lord's houses the world's oldest sporting museum.
