Rangiora Recreation Ground (also known as the MainPower Oval through a sponsorship deal with local company MainPower) is a cricket ground in Rangiora, Canterbury, New Zealand.
The Recreation Ground is recorded as being in existence since the early 1870s, and used for cricket since 1891.[1][2] It first held a first-class match when Canterbury played Central Districts in the 2003/04 State Championship.[3] Since the 2011 Christchurch earthquake damaged Lancaster Park beyond repair, Canterbury have played many of their first-class home matches in Rangiora.[4] Canterbury first played a List A match there in the 2003/04 State Shield when they played Auckland, with eight matches in that format having been held there in the 2011-12 Ford Trophy.[5] as well as a handful of Twenty20 matches.[6]
Two Youth One Day Internationals have been played at Rangiora Recreation Ground, both in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup when England Under-19s played West Indies Under-19s and Australia Under-19s.[7] The ground has also been used a home venue for Canterbury Women in the State League since the 2006/07 season.[8]
The Canterbury Country Hawke Cup team use Rangiora Recreation Ground as their home ground.[9] They successfully defended their title there against North Otago in 2014–15.[10]
