The first recorded match on the ground came in 1934 when Richmond River Colts played New South Wales Colts.[3] The ground held matches in the 1978 and 1979 World Series Cricket.[3] It held its first first-class match in 1979 when New South Wales played Queenslands in the Sheffield Shield. The next first-class match to be staged there came in 1991 when New South Wales played the touring Indians. A further first-class match was held there in the 2006 Pura Cup between New South Wales and Victoria.[4] A single List A match has been played there, which came in 1992 when New South Wales played the touring West Indians.[5]
