VRA Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Amstelveen, the Netherlands, the home of VRA Amsterdam since 1939.[1] It regularly plays host to the Netherlands home games in the World Cricket League, Intercontinental Cup and CB40.[2]

This ground was first used for international cricket when the Netherlands played

One Day Internationals (ODIs) including a match in the 1999 Cricket World Cup, and the 2004 Videocon Cup between India, Pakistan and Australia. It was also used in the 1990 ICC Trophy
, the first to be played outside England.

VRA Cricket Ground has hosted some notable moments in Dutch cricket, including a three-run win for the Netherlands over an England XI that featured future

Sri Lanka in their first home ODI and the visitors scored 443/9 from their 50 overs, which then was the highest team total in ODI cricket.[3]

Located in Amsterdamse Bos, the main ground features a AAA standard turf wicket, while the second and third grounds have an artificial wicket and are used in the winter by Amsterdamsche Hockey & Bandy Club.

The stadium hosted a One Day International (ODI) match during the

Nepal's first ever ODI during their Netherlands tour in August 2018.[4]

England scored 498 runs against the Netherlands in June 2022, setting a new record for the highest-ever ODI team score.[5]
