The North Tasmania Cricket Association Ground holds a capacity of under 10,000 and functions as a multi-use sports venue in Launceston. The site originally hosted horse racing before the Launceston Cricket Club formed in 1841. The club later leased the location from the Tasmanian Government.
In 1851, the venue staged Australia's first intercolonial and initial first class cricket match. It stands as the oldest first-class cricket ground in Australia. The grounds now operate primarily for club cricket fixtures alongside various other sports.
Current tenants include the Launceston Cricket Club, South Launceston Cricket Club, Old Scotch Football Club, East Launceston Junior Football Club, Northern Rangers Football Club, the Northern Tasmanian Cricket Umpires Association, and Cricket Tasmania community and high performance programs. The venue also hosted a men's ODI between India and New Zealand on 2 February 1986.
