Trelawny Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Falmouth, Jamaica
Trelawny Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Trelawny Parish, Jamaica, completed in 2007 with a capacity of 25,000. It was built under an agreement in which the Chinese government contributed at least US$30 million. The ground is used mainly for cricket and also serves as a second venue for the Jamaica national football team.
The stadium was built in 2007 with support from an international government and was part of Jamaica's preparation for a major sporting event. Its opening marked a turning point for sports infrastructure development in the region.
The stadium has also hosted concerts and shows, including the Jamaica blues festival in 2012, which brought guests such as Celine Dion. Cricket remains its main use: it staged warm-up matches and the opening ceremony of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
The venue is easily accessible by car with parking areas available and connected by public transport from neighboring regions. Visitors should check ahead whether events are scheduled, as opening times can vary.
The first major event after the 2007 Cricket World Cup was a pair of Women's One Day Internationals between the West Indies and England, the ground's first international cricket matches. In December 2019, Cricket West Indies confirmed the venue would host 2019–20 West Indies Championship matches after an eleven-year gap.
