History
Cricket
The first recorded match on the ground was in 1890, when Llandudno Visitors played Riviere's Orchestra. The ground hosted its first first-class match when Wales played Ireland in 1925. Wales next played a first-class match at the ground in 1927 against the touring New Zealanders and the following year Wales played the touring West Indians, which was the last first-class match held on the ground.
The ground has also held a single List-A match, which was between Glamorgan and Leicestershire in the 1969 Player's County League.
In local domestic cricket, the ground is the home venue of Llandudno Cricket Club who play in the North Wales Premier Cricket League.
