The '''Sector 16 Stadium''' is a [[cricket]] stadium in [[Chandigarh]], [[India]].

It hosted its first [[One Day International]] match in January 1985 and its only [[Test Cricket|Test match]] in 1990.

It has hosted only four matches. The likes of [[Kapil Dev]], [[Chetan Sharma]] and [[Yograj Singh]] started playing cricket at the Sector 16 Stadium. It fell out of favour to the nearby [[Punjab Cricket Association Stadium]], ([[Mohali]]) cricket ground.

After the stadium in [[Mohali]] was built, there was no [[first-class cricket]] at the Sector 16 Stadium for 10 years before [[Haryana cricket team|Haryana]] ended the barren spell by playing the [[Ranji Trophy]] Plate League semi-final in 2004/05. But after 14 years, [[India cricket team|India]] and [[Australia cricket team|Australia]] played a match in October 2007.
