'''Trent Bridge Cricket Ground''' is a [[cricket]] ground mostly used for [[Test cricket|Test]], [[One-day cricket|One-Day International]] and [[county cricket]] located in [[West Bridgford]], [[Nottinghamshire]], England, just across the [[River Trent]] from the city of [[Nottingham]]. Trent Bridge is also the headquarters of [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club]]. As well as international cricket and Nottinghamshire's home games, the ground has hosted the Finals Day of the [[Twenty20 Cup]] twice and will host the final of the [[Royal London One-Day Cup|One-Day Cup]] between 2020 and 2024.

In 2009, the ground was used for the [[ICC World Twenty20]] and hosted the semi-final between [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] and [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]]. The site takes its name from [[Trent Bridge (bridge)|the nearby main bridge]] over the Trent and it is also close to [[Meadow Lane]] and the [[City Ground]], the [[association football|football]] stadiums of [[Notts County F.C.|Notts County]] and [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] respectively.

==History==
[[File:Trent Bridge 1890.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Trent Bridge circa 1890]]
Trent Bridge was first used as a [[cricket]] ground in the 1830s. The first recorded cricket match was held on an area of ground behind the [[Trent Bridge Inn]] in 1838.<ref name=brief>{{cite web|last=Wynne-Thomas|first=Peter|title=A Brief History of Trent Bridge|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/60197.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=21 April 2013}}</ref> Trent Bridge hosted its first Test match in 1899, with [[England cricket team|England]] playing against [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]].

The ground was first opened in 1841 by [[William Clarke (cricketer, born 1798)|William Clarke]], husband of the proprietress of the Trent Bridge Inn<ref name=brief/> and himself captain of [[William Clarke's All-England Eleven]]. He was commemorated in 1990 by the opening of the new William Clarke Stand, which incorporates the Rushcliffe Suite.

In 1950, an electronically operated [[Scoreboard#Cricket|scoreboard]] was installed at this venue, then the world's largest at any cricket stadium.<ref>{{cite news |title=Worlds Largest Score Board |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=e7w-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=O0wMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6944%2C544423 |access-date=29 June 2019 |work=The Indian Express|via=Google News |date=5 April 1950 |page=8}}</ref>

==Football==
Trent Bridge has a history of hosting [[association football|football]] matches. [[Notts County F.C.|Notts County Football Club]] played their important games at the ground from the 1860s, and moved there permanently in 1883 when [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] left. However, games early and late in the season had to be played elsewhere due to the cricket and Notts County finally left in 1910, moving to [[Meadow Lane]].

The ground also hosted an international match, [[England national football team|England]] beating [[Ireland national football team (1882–1950)|Ireland]] 6–0 on 20 February 1897.<ref>{{cite web |title=Saturday, 20 February 1897: Home International Championship 1896-97 (14th) Match |url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas1872-00/1896-97/M0059Ire1897.html |access-date=20 June 2019 |work=England Football Online}}</ref>
