Trent Bridge Cricket Ground is acricket ground mostly used forTest,One-Day International andcounty cricket located inWest Bridgford,Nottinghamshire, England, just across theRiver Trent from the city ofNottingham. Trent Bridge is also the headquarters ofNottinghamshire County Cricket Club. As well as international cricket and Nottinghamshire's home games, the ground has hosted the Finals Day of theTwenty20 Cup twice and will host the final of theOne-Day Cup between 2020 and 2024.
In 2009, the ground was used for theICC World Twenty20 and hosted the semi-final betweenSouth Africa andPakistan. The site takes its name fromthe nearby main bridge over the Trent and it is also close toMeadow Lane and theCity Ground, thefootball stadiums ofNotts County andNottingham Forest respectively.
Trent Bridge was first used as acricket ground in the 1830s. The first recorded cricket match was held on an area of ground behind theTrent Bridge Inn in 1838.[2] Trent Bridge hosted its first Test match in 1899, withEngland playing againstAustralia.
The ground was first opened in 1841 byWilliam Clarke, husband of the proprietress of the Trent Bridge Inn[2] and himself captain ofWilliam Clarke's All-England Eleven. He was commemorated in 1990 by the opening of the new William Clarke Stand, which incorporates the Rushcliffe Suite.
In 1950, an electronically operatedscoreboard was installed at this venue, then the world's largest at any cricket stadium.[3]
Trent Bridge is considered to be one of the most beautiful grounds in world cricket.[4] Itspavilion, retaining the architectural parameters of its 1889 foundation, is very well known in world cricket because it faces the wicket at an angle.[citation needed] Recent developments include the £7.2 million Radcliffe Road Cricket Centre, opened in 1998 and the state of the art £1.9 million Fox Road stand, which has received awards for its architectural excellence.[5] The latter includes a modernistic aircraft-wing roof and was opened in 2002 despite a conflict with a small group of local residents over the lack of sunlight that this would cause to their properties.[citation needed]
Commencing in 2007, Trent Bridge has undergone redevelopment with the construction of a new stand to replace the Parr Stand and West Wing and the addition of one to five rows of extra seating at the front of several of the other stands.[6] This increased capacity from 15,358 to 17,500,[7] and the work was completed in time for the 2008 Test match againstNew Zealand. The stand was officially opened on 5 June byPrince Philip.[8] The stand continued to be officially called the 'New Stand' for a number of years, also being referred to as the Bridgford Road Stand,[9] before being renamed the Smith Cooper Stand in a sponsorship deal from March 2016.[10]
Bowling takes place from the Stuart Broad End (named the Pavilion End until September 2023 with the official renaming on 18 July 2024)[11][12] and the Radcliffe Road End, with the wickets laid square of the Fox Road, William Clarke and Smith Cooper Stands.
Trent Bridge has a history of hostingfootball matches.Notts County Football Club played their important games at the ground from the 1860s, and moved there permanently in 1883 whenNottingham Forest left. However, games early and late in the season had to be played elsewhere due to the cricket and Notts County finally left in 1910, moving toMeadow Lane.
The ground also hosted an international match,England beatingIreland 6–0 on 20 February 1897.[13]
