Headingley Cricket Ground

Home of Yorkshire County Cricket Club

Headingley Stadium is based in the suburb of Headingley in Leeds, Yorkshire. The stadium is split into two adjoining grounds; Headingley Cricket Ground and Headingley Rugby Stadium. The cricket ground has hosted test cricket since 1899 and has a capacity of 18,350.

The stadium hosted the iconic third Ashes Test in 2019, which saw Ben Stokes give a spectacular performance, a match that will undoubtedly go down in cricket history.

There are plans to expand the stadium significantly. £50 million will go towards the project and will take place over the next twenty years. The stadium has also been used as a concert venue; in 2015, Madness performed in front of 7,500 fans.

Last year, Erion Morgan’s men showed the packed crowd a stellar performance as England won by an innings and 76 runs against India and secured a home win by achieving 45 runs in England v Pakistan. The Three Lions proved that 2021 was definitely a hard-fought series for England’s legendary cricket players.

Headingley Stadium is set to host England v Pakistan Vitality IT20 and England v Australia ODI, a must-watch for any cricket fan! Witness world-class cricket from some of the sport’s greatest players in action in 2024.

Discover More About Headingley Cricket Ground:

Yorkshiremen have never been modest about their cricket, and to be fair, given the county’s success down the years, they haven’t had much to be modest about.

Go onto the website, and it proclaims – “Yorkshire County Cricket Club is one of the greatest clubs in the world”.

It continues: “Established over 150 years ago, the history, tradition and passion of Yorkshire cricket are renowned. No other county in the history of the game has won more trophies and produced more players for England.”

Headingley Cricket Ground has been home since 1890 and a venue for Test Matches since 1899.

There have been some amazing eras.

Winning the title four times in the 1900s, the side, led by Lord Hawke, included great players such as George Hirst, David Denton – who scored 2,000 runs in a season four times – and Wilfred Rhodes, who took a career 3,598 wickets for the County.

The 1920s featured openers Herbert Sutcliffe and Percy Holmes, who still hold the record for the highest opening stand of 555 against Essex. George Macaulay took 100 Championship wickets in a season 10 times.

The 1930s featured Hedley Verity, a great left-arm spinner, Bill Bowes, an international opening bowler, and Len Hutton, one of the greatest batsmen ever to play cricket.

Yorkshire won the Championship six times in the 1960s – twice under the leadership of Vic Wilson and four under Brian Close. That team included England fast bowler Fred Trueman, who took 307 Test wickets, all-rounder Ray Illingworth, who captained England in 31 Tests, and iconic opening batsmen turned commentator Geoffrey Boycott.

New Zealand has been regular visitors to Emerald Headingley, competing against England and securing a whole-hearted 199 run victory in 2015. They will now be returning for the 2022 Emerald Test Match as the best-ranked test team in the world. South Africa is another tourist that will be visiting Headingley Stadium after not returning after 2017.

Headingley Stadium the home of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, the Rugby League team Leeds Rhinos and the Yorkshire Carnegie rugby union team.

There are two separate grounds – Headingley Carnegie Cricket Stadium and Headingley Carnegie Rugby Stadium with a two-sided stand sharing some facilities. Originally owned by the Leeds Cricket, Football and Athletic Company, it is now managed together by Yorkshire C.C.C. and Leeds Rugby.
