Headingley Cricket Ground

Headingley Cricket Ground is a major cricket venue in the Headingley district of Leeds, England, and serves as the home of Yorkshire County Cricket Club. The venue hosts county matches and international fixtures and forms part of the wider Headingley stadium complex that also contains a rugby ground.

The ground has seated stands and traditional pavilion facilities and is used for Test, One-Day International and domestic cricket fixtures; typical international-match capacity is in the region of 18,000 spectators. Match days attract large crowds and local transport and services are organised to handle spectators.

Cricket has been played at Headingley since the late 19th century and the ground has a long association with county and international cricket, hosting its first Test matches in the era around 1899. Over time stands and spectator facilities have been modernised while retaining the pavilion and members’ areas.

The ground lies in the Headingley suburb roughly 3 kilometres north-west of Leeds city centre, within easy reach of local rail and bus connections.
