The County Ground, Taunton is named after Cooper Associates County Ground due to sponsorship reasons. It's a small ground with an 8,500 capacity and most of the time England's Womens Cricket Team prefers to practice on this ground only. So far, 5 Tests and 7 T20 International Matches have been played here at County Ground, Taunton.

The County Ground is a cricket ground located in Taunton, Somerset. For sponsorship reasons, the ground is also called Cooper Associates County Ground. Since the establishment of the County Ground in 1882, the home matches of the Somerset County Cricket Club have been hosted at the venue. However, after the first ODI match was played at the ground in 1983, the venue has been used for organizing international cricket matches as well. The first ODI match played at the venue was between England and Sri Lanka. Later in 2017, the ground hosted its first T20I. It was an England vs South Africa match. As of now, Test cricket is yet not been played at the County Ground.
