Llandudno Cricket Club Ground is a cricket ground in Llandudno, Caernarvonshire.

History

Cricket

The first recorded match on the ground was in 1890, when Llandudno Visitors played Riviere's Orchestra.[1] The ground hosted its first first-class match when Wales played Ireland in 1925. Wales next played a first-class match at the ground in 1927 against the touring New Zealanders and the following year Wales played the touring West Indians,[2] which was the last first-class match held on the ground.

The ground has also held a single List-A match, which was between Glamorgan and Leicestershire in the 1969 Player's County League.[3]

In local domestic cricket, the ground is the home venue of Llandudno Cricket Club[4] who play in the North Wales Premier Cricket League.

Football

The Oval was used to host two Wales international matches; on 19 February 1898 Wales lost 1–0 to Ireland at the ground.[5] It was used again on 24 February 1900 for a 2–0 win over Ireland.[6]
