The 2012 season was Glamorgan County Cricket Club's 125th year in existence and their 92nd as a first-class cricket county. They played most of their home matches at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, but also used outgrounds in Swansea (St Helen's) and Rhos-on-Sea (Penrhyn Avenue). They finished sixth in Division Two of the County Championship, as well as sixth in Group B of the ECB40 and fifth in the Mid/Wales/West Group of the Twenty20 Cup, missing out on the knockout stage of both competitions. In the limited-overs formats, the team rebranded as "Welsh Dragons" in an effort to reinforce the club's status as the representative of the whole of Wales in county cricket.[1]

The team was coached by Matthew Mott for a second year, albeit in a new role as head of elite performance.[2] Wicketkeeper-batsman Mark Wallace served as captain in the County Championship and the ECB40, while Jim Allenby led the team in the Twenty20 Cup. The team signed Australian batsman Marcus North as their overseas player for the 2012 season,[3] but because he was unavailable for the first month of the season due to the birth of his second child,[4] Glamorgan also brought in fellow Australian Moises Henriques to play in the first few games.[5] After initially approaching Australia bowler Mitchell Johnson for the Twenty20 Cup,[6] the team also signed another Australian, Shaun Marsh.[7] Other signings included the return of England seam bowler Simon Jones after a brief return on loan in 2011,[8] although he was predominantly used as a white-ball player. South Africa-born batsman Martin van Jaarsveld was also brought in as a Kolpak player, initially just for the Twenty20 Cup,[9] although he did end up playing in two ECB40 matches.[10] South African opener Alviro Petersen did not return for the 2012 season after captaining Glamorgan in 2011,[11] and Mike Powell also left after 15 years with the club, signing for Kent after being released by Glamorgan at the end of the previous season.[12]

The season was marred by the death of 23-year-old former Glamorgan player Tom Maynard, whose father Matthew was also a former Glamorgan player and coach. Maynard's body was found on the tracks at Wimbledon Park tube station after being hit by a train on the morning of 18 June 2012, having fled on foot after being pulled over by police for driving erratically earlier in the night.[13] Glamorgan rearranged their T20 game against Worcestershire from 20 June to 3 July,[14] before Maynard's funeral at Llandaff Cathedral on 4 July.[15]
