Rwanda Cricket Stadium or Kicukiro Oval is main cricket ground in Kigali. The stadium is more commonly known as the Gahanga Cricket Stadium and has been dubbed as the 'Lord's of East Africa'.

In 2011, Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation was formed in August 2011 to build and manage, on a not for profit basis, the first dedicated international cricket ground in Rwanda. It is located 4.5 hectare site on the edge of Kigali, Rwanda's capital.[1]

The charity is run by a team of cricket enthusiasts from the UK Christopher Shale and Rwanda in partnership with the Marylebone Cricket Club Foundation. The ground is expected to be completed in March 2017.[2]

The construction of Rwanda's first dedicated cricket ground will provide a permanent home for the sport, helping its development and increasing opportunity for thousands of disadvantaged young people.

In 2012, Brian Lara[3] agreed to become one of the Patrons. The Stadium is also supported by British Prime Minister David Cameron, Andrew Mitchell, Jonathan Agnew, Heather Knight, Peter Gummer, Baron Chadlington[4][5]
