List of women's Test cricket grounds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ten countries have hosted at least one match of women's Test cricket.
The Brisbane Exhibition Ground (pictured in 2011), located in the Australian city of Brisbane, hosted the inaugural women's Test in 1934, but is no longer used for cricket.

In total, 79 cricket grounds have hosted at least one match of women's Test cricket.[1]

Ten countries have hosted at least one women's Test match, which corresponds to the number of teams that have played at least one Test. However, four of those countries – Ireland, the Netherlands, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka – have hosted only a single match, while two others, Jamaica and South Africa, have hosted only two and eight, respectively. Consequently, the vast majority of Test venues have been located in only four countries – Australia, England, India, and New Zealand. Australian and English venues alone make up over half of the list.[2] Most of the grounds have hosted only a single Test match, with multiple Tests at one venue being the exception rather than the rule. Only four venues have hosted more than four Tests, all located in England – Worcester's New Road ground has hosted nine games, London's Kennington Oval has hosted six, and Scarborough's North Marine Road and the County Ground in Taunton ground have hosted five.[3]
