The Victoria Ground (also known as the Royal Park) was a cricket ground in Leeds, Yorkshire. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1846, when a Yorkshire team played the All-England Eleven.[1] The ground was due to host a first-class match in 1858 between the United North of England Eleven and the United South of England Eleven, but it was cancelled.[2]
