History
The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1988 when Jersey played the Hampshire Second XI.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/123/776_misc.html|title=Other matches played on Grainville, St Saviour|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=18 October 2011}} The ground has since been the venue of a number of international tournaments, including matches in the 2008 World Cricket League Division Five which was won by Afghanistan, and the 2010 European Cricket Championship Division One, which Jersey won. The ground also hosted four matches for a combined Channel Islands team when it was permitted to take part in the English Minor counties MCCA Knockout Trophy competition in 2001 and 2002.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/123/776_mint.html|title=Minor Counties Trophy Matches played on Grainville, St Saviour|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=18 October 2011}}
