In 1973, the ground held its first Women's One Day International when Jamaica played Trinidad and Tobago in the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup. Two further Women's ODIs were held on the ground during the 1993 Women's Cricket World Cup, with India playing New Zealand and England played the Netherlands.[5]
In local domestic cricket, the ground is the main home venue of Ealing Cricket Club who play in the Middlesex County Cricket League.[6][7] It is located 500 metres (550 yd) north-east of Ealing Broadway railway station at the heart of an area of late-Victorian villa-style houses built around the ground in the Arts and Crafts style during the 1880s and 1890s.[4]
