The TCA then began trading as Cricket Tasmania from September 2009. Originally based at the TCA Ground on Hobart's Queens Domain, the TCA relocated to Bellerive Oval in 1977, and now houses modern facilities as well as the museum of Tasmanian Cricket within Cricket Tasmania headquarters at the ground.
