Melbourne Cricket Ground, locally known as MCG, is the second-largest cricket ground in the world by capacity. The cricket ground is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

It is within walking distance of the city centre and is served by route 48, route 70 and route 75 trams, as well as Jolimont and Richmond railway stations.

Melbourne Cricket Ground, built in 1853, has hosted major sporting events, including rugby league games and FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

It’s hard to look past Melbourne Cricket Ground when talking about history, pure emotions and drama. 

History Of Melbourne Cricket Ground 

Melbourne Cricket Club established Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1853 – less than 20 years after Melbourne was founded. 

The stadium hosted its first cricket match on September 30, 1854. And soon after, Test Cricket was born, followed by One Day International cricket a century later. 

A public grandstand capable of holding 6,000 people was constructed at Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1861. 

An Indigenous Australian cricket team played the first Boxing Day match at MCG in 1866. 

Police officers played the first trial game of football at the stadium in 1869. The formation of the Victorian Football League (VFL) ten years later led to the first official football match being played at the stadium. 

Since the MCG became a well-known sports venue, it has gone through several developments over the years. The first scoreboard at MCG was built in 1882 and has since taken many forms over the years. As of 2022, the scoreboard at MCG is the largest and the best in the world. 

All the playing field lights, including those in the light towers, were replaced with LED sports between November 2019 and February 2020. 

The stadium, which is set to host the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final, has a seating capacity of 95,000 and an additional standing capacity of 5,000. In total, MCG can hold 100,024 people watching a game or attending an event.
