Headingley Stadium: two grounds, back to back

Nowhere else in Britain does this: at Headingley, a Test cricket ground and a rugby league stadium stand back to back, sharing one name and one skyline. Yorkshire have played cricket here since 1891; the Rhinos’ ground adjoins it, stands literally sharing a wall.

The cricket ground’s roll of honour runs from the first Test in 1899 to Botham’s 1981 Ashes and Stokes’ 2019 miracle (our What’s On posts cover the fixtures, including the 2027 Women’s Ashes Test). Stadium tours run on selected dates.
