The Rangitikei cricket team represented the Rangitikei region (approximately the same as the current Rangitikei District) of New Zealand's North Island. It competed in the Hawke Cup from 1910–11 to 1988–89, winning the title twice. The Rangitikei Cricket Association continues to exist, but for inter-provincial purposes Rangitikei is now part of the Whanganui team. Rangitikei's headquarters were in Marton, where its main home ground was Marton Park at first, then Centennial Park, which was established after World War II.
Rangitikei was also the origin and administrative home of the wandering cricket team the New Zealand Nomads, which toured New Zealand in the summer months from 1907 to 1983.
