Nelson Cricket Ground was a cricket ground in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The first recorded match held on the ground came in January 1878 when Hawke's Bay played the touring Australians.[1] The ground held its first first-class match in 1914 when Hawke's Bay played Wellington. Two further first-class matches were held there, one further in 1914 which saw Hawke's Bay play the touring Australians and in 1915 when Hawke's Bay played Canterbury in the 1914/15 Plunket Shield.[2] In use throughout the remainder of the 20th century, Central Districts later played two List A matches there.[3] The first of these came in the 1998/99 Shell Cup against Otago, while the second came in the 2000/01 Shell Cup against Auckland. This was the last recorded cricket match held at the ground.
