North Inch is a cricket ground in Perth, Scotland. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1849 when Perth played Grange.[1] The ground held its first first-class match when Scotland played Ireland in 1909. Five further first-class matches were played there, the last of which came in 1970 when Scotland played Ireland. Other first-class matches had seen the ground host the Australians in 1912, Wales in 1923, and the South Africans in 1929.[2] The ground held its first List A match when Scotland played Yorkshire in the 1984 Benson & Hedges Cup. Three further List A matches were played there, the last of which saw Scotland play Lancashire in the 1989 Benson & Hedges Cup.[3] In the 1986 Benson & Hedges Cup Scotland historically defeated Lancashire, marking their first defeat of county opposition in limited-overs cricket.[4]

In recent history the ground has become the victim of repeated vandalism and lack of funds, which in 2009 led to the extinction of Perth County Cricket Club who played at North Inch.[5][6]
