The National Cricket Stadium was first established in 1887 but has undergone several transformations to its current state. Formerly known as Queen’s Park, the ground first hosted a One Day International in 1999 and later Test match cricket in 2002.
The stadium was initially rebuilt in 2000, however Hurricane Ivan in 2004 destroyed much of the infrastructure. The ground was again rebuilt in time for the 2007 Cricket World Cup and went on to host 6 matches.

If in the centre of town, head to Melville Street (the road closest to the sea) and head straight, with Fort George behind you and the Bus Terminal should be on your left. Eventually you should see the ground, the easiest way to access is via Queen’s Park Road.
