List of women's Test cricket grounds
In total, 78 cricket grounds have hosted at least one match of women's Test cricket.[1]
Ten countries have hosted at least one women's Test match, which corresponds to the number of teams that have played at least one Test. However, four of those countries – Ireland, the Netherlands, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka – have hosted only a single match, while two others, Jamaica and South Africa, have hosted only two and eight, respectively. Consequently, the vast majority of Test venues have been located in only four countries – Australia, England, India, and New Zealand. Australian and English venues alone make up over half of the list.[2] Most of the grounds have hosted only a single Test match, with multiple Tests at one venue being the exception rather than the rule. Only four venues have hosted more than four Tests, all located in England – Worcester's New Road ground has hosted nine games, London's Kennington Oval has hosted six, and Scarborough's North Marine Road and the County Ground in Taunton ground have hosted five.[3]
