List of Norfolk County Cricket Club grounds

Norfolk County Cricket Club was established on 14 October 1876; prior to that an informal county organisation had existed before, and had occasionally appeared in first-class cricket. It has since played minor counties cricket from 1895 and played List A cricket from 1965 to 2003, using a different number of home grounds during that time. Their first home minor counties fixture in 1895 was against Cambridgeshire at the County Ground, Norwich, while their first home List A match came 74 years later, against Yorkshire in the 1969 Gillette Cup at the same venue. The County Ground played host to the majority of Norfolk's home matches during the 20th century, before the club moved to Manor Park, Horsford at the beginning of the 21st century.

The ten grounds that Norfolk have used for home matches since 1895 are listed below, with statistics complete through to the end of the 2014 season.
