Penang Sports Club

Penang Sports Club, Recreation club in George Town, Malaysia.

Penang Sports Club is a private members' sports club and cricket ground in George Town, Penang, covering about 16 acres (65,000 m²). Its cricket ground has hosted matches for Malaya and then Malaysia, including games in the 1997 ICC Trophy, the qualifying competition for the 1999 World Cup.

Penang Sports Club was founded in 1936 as a private members' club with a cricket ground on about 16 acres in George Town. The ground is documented as hosting international matches from 1927, when a Malaya team led by C.G. Macartney played an Australian side, before the club itself existed. It later hosted Malaya versus Singapore inter-state matches in 1959 and 1961, and some matches of the 1997 ICC Trophy, the competition used to select teams for the 1999 World Cup.

The ground's name is tied to Penang cricket: it hosted a match in 1927 between a Malaya team and an Australian side led by C.G. Macartney, before the club itself was founded in 1936. Inter-state matches against Singapore followed in 1959 and 1961, and in 1997 the ground staged matches of the ICC Trophy, the tournament used to select teams for the 1999 World Cup.

The club occupies about 16 acres (65,000 m2) in George Town, Penang. It is a private members club, so the grounds and sports facilities are not open to the general public; arrange access through the club before visiting.

The ground's international record predates the club itself: an Australian side led by C.G. Macartney played Malaya here in 1927. Malaya met Singapore here in 1959 and 1961, and in 1997 the ground hosted matches of the ICC Trophy, the tournament used to select teams for the 1999 World Cup.
