Claremont Road is a cricket ground in Dublin, Ireland. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1994, when Munster played North West.[1] In local domestic cricket, the ground was the home of YMCA Cricket Club.[2]

In 2021, the ground was acquired from the YMCA by Lansdowne Rugby Club, who then ended the cricket club's lease in 2024.[3][4]

The ground has hosted 5 Women's One Day Internationals (ODI), the first of which came in 2005 and saw Ireland women play Australia women. The second Women's ODI came in 2006 when Ireland women played the Netherlands women. In 2012 Ireland Women played Bangladesh and Pakistan in an ODI Tri-Series.[5]

The ground also hosted final of 2013 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Pakistan and Sri Lanka both went on to be undefeated at the tournament, sharing the title after the final was interrupted by rain.[6]

The ground was used to host two matches at the 2011 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[1]
