'''Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium''' (abbreviated as the '''HPCA Stadium''') is an international [[cricket stadium]] in [[Dharamshala]] hill station of [[Himachal Pradesh]], India.<ref name=WA/>


'''Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium''', ({{lang-hi|हिमाचल प्रदेश क्रिकेट एसोसिएशन स्टेडियम}}) abbreviated as the '''HPCA Stadium''', is a picturesque [[cricket]] [[stadium]] located in the city of [[Dharamshala]] [[District]] in [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[India]]. The town of Dharamsala is best known internationally as the home of the [[Dalai Lama]] of [[Tibet]].
The stadium is the home ground of [[Himachal Pradesh cricket team]], [[Himachal Pradesh women's cricket team]] and headquarter of [[Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association]], the governing body of cricket in Himachal Pradesh state.<ref name=W/>
 
It will host 5 games of [[2023 Cricket World Cup]], including New Zealand vs India.<ref name=W/>

The stadium served as the home ground for the [[Himachal Pradesh cricket team]] for [[Ranji Trophy]] matches and other domestic matches. The stadium also hosted some [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] matches as a home stadium for [[Kings XI Punjab]].<ref name="ESPNCricinfo">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/395792.html |title=Dharamshala to be ready for IPL by April |publisher= ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=23 January 2012}}</ref>

The picturesque venue is unique in [[India]] as it is situated at an altitude of 1,457 m above the sea level and has the snow-capped [[Himalayas|Himalayan]] mountains in the background. Getting to Dharamsala from the nearby [[Kangra Airport]], which is about 8 kilometres away through the hilly terrain and the harsh winters, during which it rains and snows, is a deterrent to organizing regular matches.

[[Dav Whatmore]], the former Director of the [[National Cricket Academy]] in India had recommended during his tenure that the stadium is suitable for hosting international cricket matches.

In November 2015, the stadium was selected as one of the six new Test match venues in India along with the [[Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium]], [[JSCA International Stadium Complex]], [[Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium]], [[Holkar Stadium]] and [[Dr. Y.S.

The venue has been used sporadically for IPL matches and due to its high altitude has a reputation for six hitting. [[Adam Gilchrist]] became the first player to score a century in the IPL at the HPCA stadium in 2011 against RCB, an innings that included a 122m six off [[Charl Langeveldt]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-12 |title=IPL Records HPCA Stadium |url=https://t20-head-to-head.com/ipl-records-hpca-stadium/ |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=T20 Head to Head |language=en-GB}}</ref>
