The Mall, Armagh
Club cricket
The Mall was used to host club cricket matches in the 1840s, and has been used for home matches by Armagh Cricket Club since the 1860s. Founded in 1859, the club originally played on other pitches, before obtaining a lease for use of The Mall in 1861. Armagh Cricket Club built a number of pavilions at the ground, with the current building dating to the 1990s.
International cricket
In 2005, the ground hosted a List A match in the 2005 International Cricket Council Trophy between Denmark and the United States, which Denmark won by 96 runs. It had previously hosted a European Cricket Championship match, in July 2002, between Germany and Israel.
