The '''Arnos Vale Stadium''' is a cricket ground in [[Arnos Vale, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines|Arnos Vale]], near [[Kingstown]], [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines|St. Vincent]]. The multi-use ground – part of Arnos Vale Sports Complex – is situated next to and to the west of the Arnos Vale Playing Field.{{efn|The sports complex itself is located just south of the site of the former [[E. T. Joshua Airport]].}}

The stadium holds the capacity to accommodate 18,000 people and is mostly used for football and cricket matches.

==History==
The stadium hosted its first ever international game on 4 February 1981. The match was an ODI between West Indies and [[England Cricket Team|England]] and was a close encounter which the hosts won by two runs.

The ground's maiden [[Test match cricket|Test]] match came in 1997, when the [[West Indies Cricket Team|West Indies]] played [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] to a draw, with Sri Lanka finishing on 233–8 chasing a target of 269 runs. The second Test held at the ground, in 2009, saw [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] record their maiden Test victory over the West Indies by 95 runs. At the time the West Indies were without many of their leading players due to a dispute with the [[West Indies Cricket Board]], so seven Test debutantes featured in the West Indian team.<ref>{{cite web |date=18 August 2010 |title=West Indies v Bangladesh 2009 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/473139.html |access-date=25 February 2018 |website=[[ESPNcricinfo]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=1st Test, Bangladesh tour of West Indies at Kingstown, Jul 9-13 2009|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/engine/match/401071.html|website=[[ESPNcricinfo]]|access-date=25 February 2018}}</ref>

Ahead of the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]], hosted by the West Indies, Arnos Vale Sports Complex was renovated over a period of 18 months. The ground's playing area was enlarged, and on the eastern side of the ground a new stand, media centre, operations centre, and pavilion were constructed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/arnos-vale-cutting-it-close-280470|title=Arnos Vale cutting it close|last=Gill|first=Haydn|date=15 February 2007|access-date=20 February 2023|website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>
