Landskrona IP (short for "Landskrona Idrottsplats" or "Landskrona Sports Ground" and locally known as "I.P.") is a football stadium which serves as the home of the Landskrona BoIS football club. The stadium holds approximately 10,000 spectators, 3,500 of whom are accommodated in covered seats on the south terrace. On the same site there are smaller football pitches and facilities for other sports including tennis. The venue is owned by Landskrona Municipality.

Landskrona IP was inaugurated on 20 July 1924 with a soccer game between Landskrona BoIS and B 1903, where the away team won, 3–2.[2] It replaced the former Landskrona sports ground Banan. Aside from Landskrona BoIS' home games, it has hosted one Swedish friendly match, as well as some matches in the 1974 UEFA European Under-18 Championship. All four of the Faroe Islands' home qualifications games for the UEFA Euro 1992 tournament were played at the stadium.
