Holywood Cricket Club

Holywood Cricket Club is a cricket club in Holywood, County Down, Northern Ireland, playing in Section 1 of the NCU Senior League. The club was founded in 1881, originally playing at Kinnegar in Holywood. After a storm blew the pavilion away, the club found a new home in 1885 at Belfast Road, where it stayed until 1996. The club experienced difficulties in 1997 as a result of the raising by St Paul’s Gaelic Athletic Club on its adjacent pitch, which was used by the cricket club as its outfield. For the 1997 season, the club used Sullivan Upper School, an arrangement that lasted 8 seasons. In 2005, the club moved to a new facility at the ‘Seapark Oval’ that is provided by North Down Borough Council.
