Town were surprise winners ahead of Peterborough Sports FC and Peterborough Phantoms ice hockey side.
City of Peterborough Hockey Club Ladies seconds and Peterborough & Nene Valley Athletics Club were also nominated.
Town picked up their first Northants Premier Division title since 2014 last year and supplemented it by finishing with a late rattle to claim the Rutland Division One title.
“This is fantastic news,” Town skipper David Clarke enthused. “It’s a great reward for the hard work the players put in all summer.
“It’s tough to win the Northants Premier Division so to do it after winning 17 of our 22 matches was a great achievement.
“Our Rutland League side is very young so they did well to win that title as well against some much more experienced sides.”
Peterborough Town CC face a summer without sport though.
All local cricket has been postponed until the coronavirus crisis has passed.
Town fancied their chances of landing back-to-back titles after signing Sri Lankan star Salinda Ushan for their 2020 campaign.
