The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is located in North Sound, Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. Constructed for use in the 2007 Cricket World Cup to host Super 8 matches. The stadium was built with an original capacity for 10,000 people, but has had that capacity temporarily increased for important games, and was actually doubled for the 2007 Cricket World Cup. The stadium is named after its greatest Cricketing son and a former West Indies Cricket Team captain, Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards or Viv Richards as he is popularly known.

A controversial decision to put sand on the damp outfield prior to the second Test match against England on February 13, 2009, led to the game being abandoned after only ten balls. The outfield's dangerous condition was quoted as a reason. The ground staff had applied an extra layer of sand after recent flooding, which meant that the bowlers were unable to gain a firm foothold for their lengthy runup. This "sandy outfield" earned the ground the nickname of 'Antigua's 366th beach'. Watch West Indies vs South Africa twenty20 matches live online
Readers may have read that Antigua posseses 365 beaches, one for each day of the year! Many of these have been damaged with the periodic hurricanes that sweep the Carribean each year. The abandoning of a major match caused extreme embarrassment for West Indies cricket, the ground was suspended from staging all international matches for a year and an official warning issued to the WICB. The ground was only cleared as a venue for International matches shortly before the current ICC T20 World Cup commenced. Watch West Indies vs South Africa twenty20 matches live online.
