Carisbrook was a sports stadium in the New Zealand city of Dunedin. The stadium was used for international cricket matches between 1955 and 2004 after which the Otago Cricket Association moved to the University of Otago Oval, a ground which has since been used for international cricket. It was one of the venues for the 1992 Cricket World Cup and hosted both men's and women's international matches. The ground was the venue for 10 men's Test matches and two women's Tests as well as 21 men's and one women's One Day International (ODI) matches. ^{[lower-alpha 1]}

Sir Richard Hadlee took three Test and one ODI five-wicket haul on the ground, the most by any player.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. ^[1] There were 16 Test and two ODI five-wicket hauls taken on the ground.

The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in an international match at Carisbrook was Sonny Ramadhin, who took six wickets at the cost of 23 runs in a Test match in 1956 for West Indies against New Zealand. Loretta Bayliss was the first New Zealander to take a five-wicket haul on the ground, doing so in a Test against Australia Women in 1961. The best Test match innings bowling figures on the ground were the 7/52 taken by Intikhab Alam for Pakistan in 1973. In ODIs the first five-wicket haul was taken by Viv Richards who took 5/41 for West Indies against New Zealand in 1987.
