WE ARE QUEENSLAND CRICKET
CREATED IN 1876, WE ARE THE CUSTODIANS OF THE GAME
We proudly and successfully fly the maroon flag on the national stage - our men, from 1926, and women, from 1930.
From Yugambeh to Guugu Yimithirr, and Green Hills to the Gabba, we live and breathe cricket across our sundrenched State.
We are the baggy maroon, the T20 teal and the junior cricketer striding out to bat on a Saturday.
We are the 76 years of Sheffield Shield heartache, broken in 1995, and the 2021 Ruth Preddy Cup triumph, celebrating the perseverance of Queensland’s women since 1930.
We are the Brisbane Heat trailblazers inspiring new generations to love our game.
We are the boys and girls picking up a bat for the first time, and the coaches helping kids form a lifelong bond with cricket.
We are umpires, volunteers, curators, players and fans - whose love for the game will never die.
We are about enjoying the wins, commiserating the losses, but coming back next week no matter what.
We unite and inspire communities and we’ll keep growing the game, because we live for cricket.
We are Queensland. We are Cricket.

The ground has hosted women’s international, first class, domestic, Women’s Big Bash League and international tour games.
The adjacent Ray Lindwall Oval features five new international training pitches, including a subcontinent pitch, additional field and training nets lighting and an activation area.
NATIONAL CRICKET CAMPUS
The National Cricket Campus is Australian Cricket’s training base covering Allan Border Field, Norths Cricket Club at Shaw Road in Kalinga, and the National Cricket Centre (NCC).

The completed National Cricket Campus provides facilities that can be utilised by international, national, and state teams, pathway programs and community cricket clubs.
