Home ground

The Village or Malahide Cricket Club Ground is a cricket ground in Malahide, Ireland. The ground is owned by the Malahide Cricket Club and has been developed to take a capacity of 11,500 when using temporary grandstands making it Ireland's biggest cricket venue. [1] [2]

In September 2013, International Cricket Council cleared the ground to host an international cricket match. The ground hosted its first international cricket match when home team Ireland played against England, with England winning by six wickets after captain Eoin Morgan hit 124 not out on what had been his home ground in his youth. [3]

Malahide was also set to be the stage for two Twenty20 games against the touring South Africa A side in 2012, but both games were cancelled. [4]

The ground became Ireland's third venue for international cricket, along with Castle Avenue in Dublin and the Civil Service Cricket Club Ground at Stormont.
