List of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club grounds

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club was established in March or April 1841; prior to that an informal county organisation had existed before, and had occasionally appeared in first-class cricket, typically playing as Nottingham. It has since played first-class cricket from 1841, List A cricket from 1963 and Twenty20 cricket from 2003, using a different number of home grounds during that time. Trent Bridge in Nottingham has played host to the clubs first home fixtures in all three formats of the game; in first-class cricket in 1841 against Kent; in List A cricket in 1965 against Wiltshire; and in Twenty20 cricket against Lancashire in 2003. Nottinghamshire have played home matches at eight grounds, but have played the majority of their home fixtures at Trent Bridge, which also holds Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket matches.

The eight grounds that Nottinghamshire have used for home matches since 1841 are listed below, with statistics complete through to the end of the 2014 season.
