Karen Rolton Oval is a cricket ground in Adelaide, South Australia, named after the Australian former cricketer Karen Rolton.[2] It is located near the corner of West Terrace and Port Road, opposite the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, in the eastern end of Park 25 of the Adelaide Park Lands.[2]
The Port Adelaide Football Club looked into buying the ground in 2014, although this was blocked by the SACA in 2015.[3]
The venue hosted the Women's One Day International (WODI) match between Australia and New Zealand on 24 February 2019.[4][5] It hosted its first first-class match from 20 to 23 March 2019, when South Australia played Victoria in the final round of the 2018-19 Sheffield Shield season.[6][7]
The venue hosted the 2024–25 Sheffield Shield final between South Australia and Queensland,[8] which saw South Australia win their first Sheffield Shield title in 29 years.[9] South Australia fans stormed the field in celebration after Jason Sangha hit the winning runs.[10]
