The Cambridgeshire Carpet Bowls Association was formed in 1985. There are three areas - North, South and East. The north is based mainly around Peterborough with teams from as far flung as Langtoft and North Luffenham in Rutland. The east area follows roughly the East Cambs District electoral boundaries while the south consists of teams from Milton in the north to Littlebury near Saffron Walden, Litlington near Royston and Wrestlingworth, Beds.

The three areas have their own leagues. County competitions are also played.

The game is played on mats 30 feet long by 6 feet wide. The original idea was to allow villages to be able to play in small village halls.

The South Cambridgeshire Carpet Bowls league (SCICBL) is split into three divisions.
