The ground has hosted some tour matches, and also

Sri Lanka A in 2007; the MCC lost all three matches.[11][12][13]

In June 2010, the Unicorns hosted Sussex in a match at Arundel Castle.[14] The Unicorns chased down Sussex's score of 325/4 from 40 overs, scoring 327/4, which at the time was the highest successful run chase in the history of 40-over cricket.[15][16] Batsman Wes Durston scored 117 from 68 balls for the Unicorns.[17][18]

In 2015, a T20 match between Sussex and

Moisés Henriques and Rory Burns collided with each other whilst attempting a catch. Both players were subsequently hospitalised.[19][20]

In 2020, Hampshire played their home games in the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy at Arundel as their normal home venue of the Rose Bowl in Southampton was in use by England for Test matches.[21]
