About the Junction Oval
The CitiPower Centre at the Junction Oval is the new exciting home of cricket in Victoria.
The state-of-the-art facility is a year-round elite training base for Victoria’s best cricketers as well as a hub for community cricket.
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be providing more information to the wider cricket community on how they can utilise our new home – from hosting functions in our event spaces, to booking and hiring out the indoor cricket training nets and facilities.
This outstanding new Centre features new administrative headquarters for Cricket Victoria, the Melbourne Stars and the Melbourne Renegades, high performance facilities, an indoor centre as well as medical and rehabilitation areas for the state’s elite cricket teams.
The ground and complex can be used for cricket all-year round, with the field expected to host Sheffield Shield, Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL), WBBL and Premier Cricket.
