Napier Recreation Ground was a cricket ground in Napier, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The ground first held a first-class match when Hawke's Bay played Wellington in 1884. Hawke's Bay would play nineteen further first-class matches there, the last of which came in 1913 against Auckland. During this period the ground played host to the touring Fijians, Marylebone Cricket Club and Australians. The site of the ground still exists to this day, but association football is the sport primarily played on it.
