About
Colombo Race Course was a harness racing course in Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo, Sri Lanka. During the Second World War, it was used as a temporary airfield. In 2012 it was redeveloped as the Colombo Race Course Sports Complex to become the first International Rugby Union ground in Sri Lanka to host all the national rugby union sides home matches.
In 2014 the ground went through a major renovation, which included installation of floodlights and the conversion of a substantial part of the grandstand into a shopping and dining complex.
