In A grade the one-day decider was set for a showdown between the L&D CC and the Narrandera Carpheads, while in B grade the premiership trophy was up-for-grabs between Yanco and the L&D CC.
C grade's Wednesday grand final was also cancelled amid the crisis.
The decision was made after advice from Cricket NSW to cancel all cricket matches both at an elite and grassroots level.
However, it was dependent on each association coming to their own conclusion.
As a result, the LDCA board decided on Tuesday not to proceed with the scheduled grand finals.

Speaking on behalf of the LDCA board, Rohan Rehwinkel said the organisation's presentation night, which was scheduled to take place next week, would also not be going ahead.
"Teams who have finished on top of the competition ladder will be declared winners of the one-day finals for A, B and C grades," he said.
"Awards and medals will be organised and given to club delegates to hand out to the respective winners within their club.
"We thank every player and club official for their patience and understanding in this matter.
"If anyone has any concerns regarding this decision, please direct them to leetoncricket@gmail.com."
This decision means the one-day premiers for the 2019-2020 competition are as follows:
- A grade: Leeton and District Cricket Club Ferrets who finished on top of the A grade ladder with 27 points.
- B grade: Yanco Cricket Club Stags who finished on top of the B grade ladder with 39 points.
- C grade: Leeton and District Cricket Club Ferrets who finished on top of the C grade ladder with 90 points.

Other cricket associations within the area are working to similar advice and will also be awarding their minor premiers the grand final honours for the season.
It follows on from similar decisions made by football codes across the region to delay the start of their new seasons.
