Lancaster Park, formerly also known as AMI Stadium, is a 13,000 capacity cricket stadium situated in a suburb of Christchurch in New Zealand. The stadium is currently closed due to damage sustained in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The Hadlee Stand has been demolished and the fate of the rest of the stadium is unresolved. It was New Zealand's oldest Test cricket venue before it was demolished. The ground was the venue for 40 men's Test matches, 48 One-Day Internationals (ODI) and four Twenty20 Internationals (T20I). The first Test match at the ground was between New Zealand and England on 10 January 1930, with the first ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan in February 1973 and the first T20I was played in February 2008 between New Zealand and England. Two women's Test matches have been played on the ground, the first in 1935, as well as seven women's ODIs and one women's T20I.
