The Green Jackets Ground is a cricket ground in St Cross, Winchester, Hampshire.

The ground was first used in 1859, when Winchester Garrison played I Zingari.[1] The ground is currently owned by the trustees of the nearby ancient Hospital of St Cross and lies next to water meadows of the River Itchen.[2] The ground was first leased to the Rifle Brigade and since 1885 it has been leased to the Green Jackets Club.[3][2] Only one first-class match was played at the ground, which saw Hampshire play Sussex in 1875.[4] Sussex were dismissed in their first-innings for 206, with Hampshire being dismissed for just 60 in their first-innings and were made to follow-on in their second-innings, making a total of just 119. Sussex therefore winning by an innings and 27 runs.[5] The original wooden cricket pavilion at the ground dated from 1886, but was destroyed by fire and a replacement built in 1970.[2] For many years, the ground has played host to the Southern Counties Archery Championship, in which thirteen counties are represented.[2] St Cross Symondians Cricket Club use the ground as their home venue.
