Location
Sandyford CC is based in Marlay Park in Rathfarnham. As of 2022, this was also the location where the Longitude Festival is held each year. After the 3 concerts and 3 days of Longitude Festival in 2022, the outfield was left in ruins and in a state that was unfit to play cricket.[5]
As of September 2022, Sandyford Cricket Club and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council were working to move the cricket ground to a new location in keeping with the Marlay Park Master Plan.[6]
