St George’s Park was started by British settlers who came to the Algoa Bay shores, in 1820 they wanted to start playing cricket in an open veld. A few months after that the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club was established 15/01/1843, the Port Elizabeth town council agreed to lease two acres of land to the club. Shortly after the cricket ground was laid out, the Town Council decided to establish St George's Park, enclosing a huge tract of land formally known as the Trinder reserve.
St George’s Park became the grounds of the second oldest cricket club in South Africa, the first international rugby match followed on July 30, 1891 between South Africa and England. The venue for the first Test, the first women's international Test and the sixth oldest cricket ground in the world. In 2003 it hosted the ICC Cricket World Cup semi - final and in 2009 IPL matches followed on from this. 2017 saw it become the first stadium on the African continent to have LED show lights and become the first stadium in South Africa to host the day/night, pink ball, test match on South African soil.
Based in South Africa, Nelson Mandela Bay, named after the late former President Nelson Mandela, St George’s Park Stadium has a capacity crowd of 19 000. It is home to the Warriors and Eastern Province cricket teams. Situated within sight of the ocean, the stadium is famous for its history, location and Brass band. Even as far back as 1867, a band performed to further entertain the crowds. Today it's an up-beat brass band of young performers, who typify the rich "rainbow" cricket traditions of the Eastern Cape.
