Merefield Ground was a cricket ground in Rochdale, Lancashire. Located alongside Merefield Road, the first recorded match played at the ground came in 1855, when the Heally Club played a United All-England Eleven. A single first-class match was held there when the North played the South in the North v South match of 1866, The match ended in a draw, despite the South's Edgar Willsher taking 6 for 71 in the North's first-innings. By 1867 cricket had ceased to be played at the ground, with an advert appearing in the Rochdale Observer encouraging people to buy shares in a proposed bowling green that was to replace the ground. This proposal eventually come to fruition, with the Castleton Bowling Club still in existence on the same site to this day.
