Bellerive Oval is a sports ground in Bellerive, eastern shore of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It is best known as the home ground for the state cricket team, the Tasmanian Tigers, and as a host ground for international Test and one-day matches.
It was first used for first class games in 1988, replacing the TCA Ground at the Domain. It underwent redevelopment in 2002 and although it has an official capacity of 16000, the next game (Australia vs England one-day match on January 11, 2003) attracted 16719 people. As of 2006 Bellerive Oval was also used by the Tasmanian Devils for the first time in the home & away season for home games in the VFL. In 2004 and 2005 Bellerive was used for the finals games of the Devils.
