Christ Church Ground is a cricket ground in Oxford,England. The ground is owned by Christ Church,a constituent college of the University of Oxford. Owing to the University Parks being on public land where an admission charge could not be levied,the privately owned Christ Church Ground was the preferred venue in Oxford for matches where a gated admission was to be levied on spectators,typically in matches between Oxford University and a touring international team. The ground operated as a first-class cricket venue from 1878 to 1961,hosting 37 first-class matches. After 1961,the University Parks became the preferred venue for all first-class matches in Oxford,but it remained in use in minor counties cricket by Oxfordshire until the start of the 21st century. Today the ground is used by the Christ Church Cricket Club.
