The Queen’s Park Oval is a sports stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Privately owned by the Queen’s Park Cricket Club, it is currently the largest capacity cricket ground in the West Indies with seating for about 18,000. It has hosted more Test matches than any other ground in the Caribbean. Considered by many players, journalists and critics as one of the most picturesque cricket venues, it first hosted a Test match in February 1930 when England toured the Caribbean though it had previously hosted many first-class tours as early as 1897.

59 Test matches have been played at this ground. The total number of runs scored here is 60,187. The home side has won 19 while a touring side has won 18 matches. The ground has witnessed 22 draws and the highest individual score of 220 by Sunil Gavaskar in 1971.
