This is a list of cricket grounds in England and Wales, listed in alphabetical order and based on each traditional English and Welsh county. The venues in this list have all been used for important matches before the foundation of the current first-class county or university clubs, whose grounds are listed in each club's own article as indicated below (e.g., The Oval is in List of Surrey County Cricket Club grounds). The venues have staged important (pre-1895)]], first-class (from 1895), single wicket, limited overs or Twenty20 matches. Venues used only for junior or minor matches are excluded unless they have a special historic interest. Some of the venues are dated to the 17th and 18th centuries and many are now defunct (marked by †).
