Nuneaton Cricket Club Ground is a cricket ground in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The first recorded match at Nuneaton Cricket Club was in 1880 (although this may have been played at a different ground from the current ground) when Nuneaton played a United South of England Eleven.[1] The ground hosted its first first-class match in 1912, when Warwickshire played Leicestershire. The following season the ground held its second first-class match, which was between Warwickshire and Gloucestershire. The third and final first-class match held on the ground came in 1914 when Warwickshire played Sussex.[2]
Additionally, the ground held several Second XI Championship matches for the Warwickshire Second XI between 1959 and 1964.[3] In 1982, the ground hosted a single match in the ICC Trophy between Canada and Gibraltar.[4]
In local domestic cricket, the ground is the home venue of the legendary Nuneaton Cricket Club.[5]
