The Cobham Oval is a cricket ground in Whangarei, New Zealand that stages daytime only first-class matches.
It is one of the home grounds for the Northern Districts Knights. It is named after the former Governor General, Charles Lyttelton, 10th Viscount Cobham. A new Cobham Oval was built in 2005.[1]
