Village Green is a cricket venue in Christchurch. It is back-up first-class cricket ground in New Zealand. It was the home of the District's first class cricket team, the State Canterbury Wizards.^[2]

It is part of the main stadium of Queen Elizabeth II Park, Village Green is often used for inter-provincial competition when the AMI Stadium is not available.

The Stadium had been damaged after the 2010 Canterbury earthquake but was able to reopen, but was severely damaged beyond repair after the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake which has damaged the running track and recreation complex. The stadium and pool complex was demolished in 2012 after engineering reports found it beyond repair.
