Club History and Home Ground
Newport Cricket Club has a long history, dating back to 1834. For many years, the club was based at a place called Rodney Parade in the centre of Newport.
Moving to a New Location
Eventually, the land at Rodney Parade was sold. A new primary school, Maindee Primary, was built on that site. Because of this, Newport Cricket Club moved to a new home. Their current location is at the Newport International Sports Village. This modern sports complex provides excellent facilities for the club's teams and players.
