Wiltshire County Cricket Club was established in January 1893. It has since played minor counties cricket from 1895 and played List A cricket from 1964 to 2005, using a different number of home grounds during that time. Their first home minor counties fixture in 1895 was against Bedfordshire at the County Ground, Trowbridge, while their first home List A match came 69 years later against Hampshire in the 1964 Gillette Cup at Hardenhuish Park, Chippenham.

The thirteen grounds that Wiltshire have used for home matches since 1895 are listed below, with statistics complete through to the end of the 2014 season.
