Closer to the action

Since the first club fixture in March 2007, Bay Oval has been the home of Bay of Plenty cricket and hosted many epic cricketing moments from domestic to international levels of the game. The Oval is located in the heart of greater Tauranga right next to the famous surf beaches of Mt Maunganui. The relaxed beachside vibe combined with some of the sunniest and consistently good weather makes the Bay Oval one of the most enjoyable grounds to both play and watch cricket in New Zealand. With a capacity of 12,000, Bay Oval offers a boutique sporting atmosphere bringing cricket fans even closer to the action!

This is a facility built by the community, for the community.

"Bay Oval is a fantastic venue to watch cricket. Nice and relaxed atmosphere with grassy banks rather than piles of concrete. They host a wide variety of games too which is great. Has lights so can host day/night games. One of NZs best cricket venues!"
