# List of Test cricket grounds

One hundred and twenty-three grounds have hosted men's Test cricket since the first officially recognised Test match between Australia and England in Melbourne in March 1877. The grounds are listed in the order in which they were first used as a venue for a men's Test cricket match. The list excludes World Series Cricket venues and women's Test venues.
On 8 July 2009, Sophia Gardens in Cardiff became the 100th Test venue. The Stormont cricket ground in Belfast became the 123rd and most recent Test venue when it staged a match between Ireland and Zimbabwe in July 2024.
