James Henry Hargreaves (1859 — 11 April 1922) was an American-born English first-class cricketer and sports retailer.
Hargreaves was born at New York City in 1859. He later moved to England, where he played two first-class matches for Hampshire against Sussex at Hove in 1884, and Surrey at Southampton in 1885.[1] In these matches, he scored 15 runs with a highest score of 14.[2] In addition to playing cricket, he also played rugby union for Hampshire.[3] He was better known in Portsmouth as a sports retailer and the founder of the sports outfitter Hargreaves, which he founded at Old Portsmouth in 1894.[3] The business later expanded to 66 stores and remained under the Hargreaves family ownership until 2006, when it was purchased by Mike Ashley's Sports World group.[4] Hargreaves died at Portsmouth in April 1922.[3]
