The Victoria Ground (also known as the Royal Park) was a cricket ground in Leeds, Yorkshire. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1846, when a Yorkshire team played the All-England Eleven.[1] The ground was due to host a first-class match in 1858 between the United North of England Eleven and the United South of England Eleven, but it was cancelled.[2]
The final recorded match on the ground saw Leeds play the United North of England Eleven in 1878. The original size of the ground had decreased in 1858 when a portion of it was sold to a new owner and by 1890 the entire ground had been sold to be built upon.
