The County Ground in Lakenham, Norwich, Norfolk was a cricket ground for over two hundred years, hosting both first-class and List A cricket. Five first-class games, all involving touring international sides, were played here between 1912 and 1986, and 13 List A matches were staged between 1969 and 1998. The County Ground's most regular users, however, were Norfolk County Cricket Club, who played over 400 Minor Counties Championship games at the venue. In the early 21st century the ground was redeveloped for a variety of other uses.
