It will be the venue's first men's domestic contest, with the NTCA Ground previously hosting matches, and will be held on October 26, with Cricket Australia releasing its annual fixtures on Wednesday morning.

The December 2009 contest saw Tasmania defeat New South Wales by three wickets, with Launceston-born George Bailey named man of the match for an unbeaten 74.

In what could be a good omen for their Launceston return, the Tigers would go on to win what was then known as the Ford Ranger Cup later that year.

City of Launceston mayor Albert Van Zetten was among those happy to see domestic cricket return to the North.

"We are delighted with the announcement this morning by Cricket Australia that a domestic one-day match will be played in Launceston in October between Tasmania and Victoria," he said.

"This will be the first time we've hosted a domestic one-day game in Launceston since December 2009 and builds on the fantastic work our staff have undertaken over recent years to secure women's and men's Big Bash games at University of Tasmania Stadium.

"The council holds regular discussions with Cricket Tasmania around content and scheduling at the stadium, which we believe is the best playing surface in the country.

"It's also a wonderful outcome for local cricket fans who would normally have to travel to Hobart to watch a game such as this, which can often be difficult if it's a midweek fixture as this one is."

The 2022-23 season will also mark the first time since 2019 that a full season of domestic cricket has been played with a 31-game Sheffield Shield season, 22-game one-day season and an expanded 43-game WNCL season locked in.

Cricket Australia's head of cricket operations and scheduling Peter Roach was pleased to announce a full schedule.

"A full WNCL season with two matches against each opponent is a logical step and provides greater opportunities for our emerging women's cricketers to play alongside our world-leading Australian players.

"Maintaining the strength of our domestic competitions is a priority for Australian cricket and it's brilliant to see so much elite cricket being played this summer.

"We look forward to the beginning of our domestic season on September 23."

Launceston's involvement may increase with two Tasmanian women's matches in December without a designated venue.
