Galle International Stadium History

Galle International Stadium is a cricket stadium in Galle city, Sri Lanka, located near the Galle Fort and surrounded on two sides by the Indian Ocean. It is considered to be one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the world.

The ground was built in 1876 as a race course. There was no permanent pavilion until 1892, when a 'grand stand' was built as per the suggestion of Mr. P.A. Templer, the then Secretary of the Galle Municipal Council. Eventually racing stopped and the ground was used for cricket matches more than races. In 1927, the ground was officially declared a cricket stadium.

The ground hosted its first first-class cricket match on 29 February 1984. A turf wicket was introduced at the stadium in 1945 under the guidance of Mr. Dhanapala Lorensu Hewa, who was the Secretary of the Galle Cricket Ground at the time. The assistance of the Colombo Cricket Club was also taken for this.
