The County Ground is a cricket venue on Wantage Road in the Abington area of Northampton, England.

Northamptonshire played their first match at the ground in 1886 before competing in the Minor Counties Championship competition between 1895 and 1904, winning the title three times.

On 7 February 1970, Northampton Town hosted Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round at the County Ground and lost 8–2, with George Best scoring six goals.

However, they stayed in the league because the stadium at Kidderminster Harriers, the Football Conference winners, did not meet the standard required for promotion.

The Cobblers played their last game there on 12 October 1994 (a 1–0 league defeat to Mansfield Town),[2] and then moved to Sixfields, a four-sided stadium more suitable for football.
