About

**Following the recent government announcement made on Monday 4 January 2021, Durham Cricket are updating their operational activities with immediate effect. Please visit our website for full update - https://www.durhamcricket.co.uk/news-and-media/durham-cricket-update-following-government-lockdown/** ​​​​

Durham County Cricket Club was established in 1882 and celebrated its 21st anniversary as a First Class County in 2013. Now known as the Emirates Riverside Cricket Ground, it hosted its first ever Ashes Test match in the same year.

Emirates Riverside is a world class sporting and music venue which regularly attracts visitors from all over the world.  The complex, which in addition to being, the home of Durham County Cricket Club, includes Austins Bar which is open on match days only, and a Learning Centre which is located on the ground floor of the Media and Education Centre.

In 2010 the Club signed a ground breaking sponsorship agreement with Emirates Airlines, with the company committing to be Main Club Sponsor, including stadium naming rights, for six years.  A ceremony unveiling the new ground name, after a nationwide competition open to the public for their suggestions, was held on Friday 4 June where it was revealed that Durham CCC's ground would be re-named Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground (Emirates Durham ICG or Emirates Durham).

In 2016 the Club and Emirates extended their contract for another seven years and on the Tuesday 23rd Februray it was revlealed the ground would be re-named Emirates Riverside. 

Emirates Riverside also has fabulous Meeting and Events facilities, which can cater for up to 300 guests and is the perfect venue for any business meetings or any of life’s special occasions.
