Rutland Recreation Ground, Ilkeston

The Rutland Recreation Ground is a cricket ground in Ilkeston, Derbyshire (not the historical county of Rutland, as the name may suggest). The Derbyshire first XI played at the ground regularly between 1925 and 1994, with the ground hosting at least one County Championship match - and sometimes as much as three or four – each year until 1978. The ground also saw John Player League matches in the 1970s.

The ground hosted 93 first-class matches and 16 List A matches.
