Malahide Cricket Club Ground, Cricket ground in Malahide, County Dublin, Ireland

Malahide Cricket Club Ground is a cricket field set within the estate of Malahide Castle in County Dublin, enclosed by old stone walls and tall trees on most sides. The ground has a maintained playing surface, a clubhouse, and temporary stands that are erected for major matches to accommodate larger crowds.

Malahide Cricket Club was founded in 1861 by Richard Wogan Talbot, 5th Baron Talbot of Malahide, who set up a ground in the castle estate. First-class cricket came to Malahide in 1991 with a match between Ireland and Scotland. In November 2017 the ground was confirmed as the venue for Ireland's first men's Test, played against Pakistan in May 2018; Kevin O'Brien scored the maiden Test century there.

The ground is known locally as 'The Village', a nickname that reflects how the space has long served as a gathering point for the community around Malahide. On match days, spectators often bring their own chairs and settle on the grass banks, giving the place the feel of a village fete rather than a formal sports event.

The ground is easy to reach by DART train, with Malahide station just a short walk away, making public transport the most convenient option on match days. Arriving early is a good idea since parking nearby is limited and trains can get busy when a major game is on.

The ground sits right next to Malahide Castle and its public park, so a visit on a non-match day can easily be combined with a walk through the castle gardens. This combination of a working sports venue and a historic estate is rare in Ireland, and many visitors are surprised to find both side by side.
