Buenos Aires Cricket Club Ground, Historic cricket ground in Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Buenos Aires Cricket Club Ground is a historic sports venue in Palermo with a grass pitch laid out for cricket matches according to international standards. The facility was designed to accommodate both players and spectators, with defined boundaries and viewing areas along the perimeter.
The venue opened in 1864 as a location for British sports including cricket, football, and rugby matches. After operating for more than 85 years, it closed in 1951 when the club moved its activities to San Fernando district.
The ground represents the introduction of British sports culture to Argentina, fostering the development of cricket, football, and rugby communities.
The location sits in an established neighborhood of Buenos Aires with good accessibility via local streets and sidewalks. A commemorative marker now identifies the historic site, which no longer operates as an active sports facility.
A marker on the grounds commemorates the first documented football match in South America, which took place there in 1867. This event established the location as a pivotal point in the sporting history of the continent.
