🏏 NTCA Ground

The North Tasmania Cricket Association Ground, better known as the NTCA Ground, is the oldest first-class cricket ground in Australia. It is a multi-use sports venue situated in Launceston, Australia. In 1851, the ground hosted Australia's first intercolonial and initial first class cricket match. It is currently used mostly for club cricket matches and has a capacity of under 10,000. Currently, it is the home ground of Launceston Cricket Club, who previously leased the site from the Tasmanian Government after the club formed in 1841 and the area was used for horse racing. South Launceston Cricket Club, Old Scotch Football Club, East Launceston Junior Football Club, Northern Rangers Football Club (soccer), Northern Tasmanian Cricket Umpires Association and Cricket Tasmania community cricket and high performance programs are also tenants.
