Junction Oval

Common card · No. 455960

Junction Oval (known under naming rights as CitiPower Centre and historically referred to as the St Kilda Cricket Ground) is a cricket venue located in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda. It is the administrative headquarters of Cricket Victoria and hosts a large number of matches for the Victoria men's and women's teams. The venue was used for Australian rules football between 1870 and 2015, including hosting the first-ever football match with historical senior premiership status. It also hosted most top division Victorian Football Association (VFA) grand finals between 1945 and 1987. Various elements of the oval – specifically the grassed playing field, the white picket fence, the terraces around the ground, the Kevin Murray Stand, the Blackie Ironmonger Stand, and the scoreboard – were added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 11 February 2010 in recognition of their historical, architectural and social significance.
