The Kenwyn Ground was a temporary rugby ground,^[1] in Cornwall, UK, built in an attempt to increase the fan base of the newly named Cornish Pirates. The move was controversial and caused resentment from some members and followers of Penzance and Newlyn RFC, as a "proud local name" was lost to the rugby world. The Pirates stayed for just one season (2005–06), playing twelve matches, moving to the Camborne Recreation Ground for the 2006–07 season. The move to Kenwyn was considered to be justified as the average attendance increased by 40% on the previous season.^[2]

The Kenwyn Ground was previously used by Truro Rugby Club in the early part of the 20th century and was the playing field for Truro Cathedral School for many years.^[1][3]
