Francis Plain Playing Field is a multi-use sporting venue in Francis Plain, Saint Helena. The ground holds 2,000 and was built in 1970.[citation needed] It is used for cricket and football.

The Saint Helena Cricket Association (SHCA) utilises Francis Plain during the local cricket season, which runs from December to May and includes a district league and three different tournaments. The cricket pitch is concrete overlaid with matting, rather than a traditional turf wicket.[1]
