Namibia Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Windhoek, Namibia. It is the headquarters of cricket in Namibia.[1]

The ground was completed in October 2025. Later that month, it was inaugurated as Cricket Namibia’s first official stadium by hosting a one-off Twenty20 International match between South Africa and Namibia, the first meeting between the two teams, which Namibia won by four wickets.[2] The stadium has been developed on a budget of $4 million USD and is expected to be one of the host grounds for the 2027 Cricket World Cup.[3]

Namibia hosted one of its major global ICC tournaments, the 2026 ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, featuring 16 teams. The event, co-hosted by Zimbabwe and Namibia, featured eight group matches at the Namibia Cricket Ground.[4]

Previously, Namibia hosted only regional qualifiers and division-level tournaments featuring six to eight teams.

The ground was selected as the venue for the 2026 Namibia T20 Tri-Series, also featuring Zimbabwe and South Africa. It subsequently hosted the three-match ODI series between Namibia and South Africa immediately following the tri-nation series.[5]
