Karnataka Gymkhana Association (KGA) is one of the oldest sports associations in Hubli.

It was established in 1915 during the British era as an institute to promote sports.

This institute was instrumental in supporting sports activities especially cricket in northern Karnataka. The then Government allotted about 7 acres land and this ground was primarily used for cricket tournaments and coaching camps.

It is located in the heart of the city in a prime location with a distance of 8 kms from Hubballi Airport, 2.5 kms from Hubballi Junction railway station and 3 kms from Hubballi bus stand.

As the city grew, members of the Association in 2011 proposed that other sports activities like tennis, badminton, table tennis etc. as also recreational facilities to be started.

The club was formally opened during

This is probably one of the very few associations in our country that can boast of a lush green cricket ground with 3 turf pitches. The ground has a circumference of about 60 meters.

Besides being the venue for several state level tournaments, the KSCA 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th division matches of KSCA Dharwad zone matches are also conducted here.
