Marrara Cricket Ground, currently known as the DXC Arena for sponsorship reasons, is a sports ground located in Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. The venue is used for cricket and Australian rules football. It forms part of the Marrara Sporting Complex and should not be confused with the nearby Marrara Oval (TIO Stadium), which has also hosted high-level cricket but is used primarily for large-scale Australian rules football and rugby league events.
The venue was developed in the early 1990s as part of the Northern Territory Government’s investment in major sporting facilities at Marrara. Built to host top-level cricket, the ground has staged international, domestic, and representative matches, alongside its role as a community sports hub.[1][2]
The naming rights were acquired by DXC Technology in July 2020, after which the ground became known commercially as DXC Arena.[3]
Facilities
The venue features a turf playing surface, practice nets, a pavilion with player and official amenities, and spectator areas comprising a small grandstand and grassed embankments. Floodlighting was upgraded in 2021 with modern LED lights, allowing for both day and night fixtures.[4][5][6]
The ground also serves as the administrative headquarters for Northern Territory Cricket.[7]
