Glenpark Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Greenock, Renfrewshire. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1869 when Greenock played the Players of Scotland.[1]
Scotland played their first first-class match there in 1926 against Ireland. The ground held five further first-class matches, the last of which saw Scotland play Ireland in 1972. Five of the first-class matches played there were between Scotland and Ireland, while another was between Scotland and the Marylebone Cricket Club.[2]
The ground is still in use today by Greenock Cricket Club.[3]
