Stormont (also known as Civil Service Cricket Club) is an international and first-class cricket ground in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the grounds of the Stormont Estate, the seat of government in Northern Ireland, and is the home of Civil Service North of Ireland Cricket Club.
It is one of four ODI grounds in Ireland, the others being the Bready in Magheramason and Clontarf and Malahide in Dublin. The ground was established in 1949 and saw its first ODI in June 2006: the inaugural ODI match for the Irish cricket team, against England.
In 2007, a three-match ODI series between India and South Africa was played at this ground, and in 2008 it hosted the qualifying tournament for the ICC World Twenty20.
It was selected as a venue to host matches in the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament.[2] The ground hosted its first Test match when Ireland played Zimbabwe in July 2024.[3] Ireland beat Zimbabwe by four wickets and recorded a second consecutive Test victory and a first on home soil.[4]
Seven ODI centuries have been scored at the venue, two of them by Ireland's own Ed Joyce.[5]
