Nelson Cricket Ground

Nelson Cricket Ground was a cricket ground in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The first recorded match held on the ground came in January 1878 when Hawke's Bay played the touring Australians. The ground held its first first-class match in 1914 when Hawke's Bay played Wellington. Two further first-class matches were held there, one further in 1914 which saw Hawke's Bay play the touring Australians and in 1915 when Hawke's Bay played Canterbury in the 1914/15 Plunket Shield. In use throughout the remainder of the 20th century, Central Districts later played two List A matches there. The first of these came in the 1998/99 Shell Cup against Otago, while the second came in the 2000/01 Shell Cup against Auckland. This was the last recorded cricket match held at the ground.
