Kowloon Cricket Club, Sports venue and Grade II historic building in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong
The Kowloon Cricket Club occupies a members-only ground on Cox's Road in King's Park, with its own cricket pitch and a full-size bowling green. The first pavilion, opened in 1908, was extended in 1931 and gained a new wing in 1958, followed by a swimming pool in 1965. A bust of founder Sir Hormusjee N. Mody stands at the main entrance.
The club was founded in 1904 and received land in King's Park from the government, with its first pavilion opening in 1908 under Governor Frederick Lugard. The building later received Grade II historic status in recognition of its architectural and cultural importance.
The club's early members were mostly of Indian and Pakistani origin, and its ground has hosted the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes since 1992, missing only the 1996 and 1997 editions. A bust of founder-benefactor Sir Hormusjee N. Mody stands at the main entrance, identical to the one at the University of Hong Kong's main building.
The club stands on Cox's Road in Yau Tsim Mong, beside King's Park and within walking distance of Jordan MTR station. It is a members-only club, so access to the grounds and pavilion is limited to members and their guests. The cricket pitch and full-size bowling green are the main outdoor facilities.
Since 1992 the club has hosted the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes tournament, bringing international cricket competition to its grounds. This event has made the venue known to cricket enthusiasts from around the world.
