In August 2011, the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation was formed as a charity, run on a not for profit basis, with the aim of building and managing the first ever dedicated international cricket ground in Rwanda. The ground was completed in March 2017.[3] It is located on a 4.5-hectare (11-acre) site on the edge of Kigali, Rwanda's capital.[4][5][6][7] The stadium now hosts the annual Kwibuka Women T20 tournament,[8]

The charity is run by a team of cricket enthusiasts from the UK and Rwanda in partnership with the Marylebone Cricket Club Foundation.

In 2012, Brian Lara[9] agreed to become one of the ground's Patrons. The Stadium is also supported by former British Prime Minister David Cameron, Andrew Mitchell, Jonathan Agnew, Heather Knight, Peter Gummer, Baron Chadlington[10][11]

In 2018, the ground was selected to host the matches in the 2018–19 ICC World Twenty20 Africa Qualifier Eastern Sub-Region group.[5][6][7]

The stadium also hosted the 2019 Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament,[8] a women's cricket tournament, in remembrance of the victims of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.[12]
