Newlands Cricket Ground, Cricket stadium in Cape Town, South Africa.

Newlands Cricket Ground is an oval grass field in Newlands, Cape Town, with a paler worn strip across the middle and a low boundary wall carrying advertising boards at the far side. Tiered seating rises above the wall, backed by a row of white canopies with pointed tops, buildings and stands. A tall lighting pylon with a rectangular head of small lamps stands to the right, and a large dark scoreboard sits at the far right of the stands.

The ground opened in 1888 on land owned by Jacob Letterstedt and stands as one of South Africa's oldest continuously active sporting facilities. Its long operational history makes it a landmark in the country's sports development over more than a century.

The ground's name comes from Newlands village, and its land was part of Mariendal Farm, bought in 1845 by the brewer Jacob Letterstedt; his daughter Lydia, Vicomtesse de Montmort, agreed the 1887 rent of £50 with the Western Province Cricket Club. The Oaks Enclosure, where pines were replaced by oaks before the 1902 Australian tour, remains a popular vantage point.

The ground sits in Newlands village beside Newlands Stadium, with the Oaks Enclosure among the most popular vantage points; the oak trees there replaced pines before the Australians' 1902 tour. The field and surrounding seating were excluded from the 2016 rezoning, so the pitch itself is unchanged by the office development.

Newlands is one of the few South African grounds that favours spinners, a trait tied to a Western Cape tradition of spin bowling; Paul Adams is a recent example. The ground has also hosted Australian rules football: in 1998, 10,123 spectators watched the Brisbane Lions play Fremantle.
