  Kaiser Sports Club Ground is a cricket ground in Discovery Bay, Jamaica.
  
  ## History
  
  With the introduction of the bauxite mining industry to Jamaica in the late 1950s and mid 1960s, a number of sports and social club's were constructed for their employees. The Kaiser Sports Club was one such sports and social club, and was originally based in the south of Jamaica at Port Kaiser, near the village of Alligator Pond. The club later moved to the north of the island, close to a bauxite mine near Discovery Bay. The ground first held a major cricket match in January 1978, when Jamaica played the Windward Islands in a List A one-day match in the 1977–78 Geddes Grant/Harrison Line Trophy. A one-day fixture in the following seasons competition was played there, before a gap of sixteen years before the ground next hosted a major match. From 1995 to 2003, the ground was a regular venue for one-day matches, hosting 22 matches during that period. In April 2010, Jamaica played Ireland and Canada in the last two one-day matches to be played at the ground. The ground has also played host to five first-class matches for Jamaica in the Regional Four Day Competition. The sports club later changed its name to the Port Rhoades Sports Club and in June 2020 stated its intention to see Jamaica return to play matches at the ground.
