List of Test cricket grounds by date
- List of Test cricket grounds by date
This is a list of Test cricket grounds by date; that is, the grounds (stadiums) that have hosted Test cricket matches in chronological order of the first day of Test cricket played at each ground, as of 9 April 2006.
The first Test match started on 15 March 1877, played between Australia and England at Melbourne Cricket Ground (known as the MCG) in Melbourne, Victoria. After a flurry of ten new Test grounds in 2001, 2002 and 2003, no new grounds were used until early 2006, when three grounds in Bangladesh hosted their first Test matches: the Chittagong Divisional Stadium, in Chittagong, the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra, and the Narayanganj Osmani Stadium in Fatullah. A fourth new ground in 2006, Warner Park Stadium in Saint Kitts and Nevis, brings the total to 94.
