The Mall is a cricket ground in Armagh, Northern Ireland. It has been used to host inter-club cricket matches since at least the 1840s, and has hosted a number of international cricket matches.
See also: Armagh Cricket Club. The Mall was used to host club cricket matches in the 1840s,[1] and has been used for home matches by Armagh Cricket Club since the 1860s. Founded in 1859,[2] the club originally played on other pitches, before obtaining a lease for use of The Mall in 1861.[3] Armagh Cricket Club built a number of pavilions at the ground,[4] with the current building dating to the 1990s.[5]
In 2005, the ground hosted a List A match in the 2005 International Cricket Council Trophy between Denmark and the United States,[6] which Denmark won by 96 runs.[7] It had previously hosted a European Cricket Championship match, in July 2002, between Germany and Israel.[8] [9]
