Church Street Park is a cricket ground in Morrisville, North Carolina, United States. In September 2018, it hosted the matches in the Northern sub-region group of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier tournament.[1] In May 2019, the International Cricket Council (ICC) stated that the ground would host six One Day International (ODI) matches in the 2019 United States Tri-Nation Series.[2] However, in July 2019, it was announced that either a new venue in Morgan Hill, California or the Leo Magnus Cricket Complex in Woodley Park in Los Angeles would host the tournament.[3]
In February 2022, Major League Cricket announced plans for Church Street Park to undergo a renovation as part of a public-private partnership with the town of Morrisville; the additions will include an expansion of permanent seating capacity to more than 3,500, increased parking, broadcast facilities, and LED-lit practice areas. These renovations come as part of a $110 million investment into eight renovated or newly-constructed cricket facilities ahead of the launch of the domestic Twenty20 league in 2023, and the possibility of hosting matches during the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[4][5]
