It was designed by architect and civil engineer Nasreddin Murat Khan and constructed by Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company in 1959. The stadium was renovated for the 1996 Cricket World Cup when it hosted the final.

In addition to Pakistan home games and international matches, the Gaddafi Stadium has also hosted several matches of the Pakistan Super League, with the first one being the final of the 2017 Pakistan Super League.

Construction:
The stadium was built in 1959 and it was designed by civil engineer Nasreddin Murat Khan and construction was completed by Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company. It was originally established as the Lahore Stadium.

Renaming stadium:
In 1974, the ground was renamed in honor of the former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi following a speech he gave at the 2nd Organisation of the Islamic Conference meeting in Lahore in favor of Pakistan's right to pursue nuclear weapons. On 23 October 2011, Pakistan Cricket Board discussed renaming the stadium following the death of Gaddafi, to support the new government in Libya. The Punjab Olympic Association made a similar request in late October 2011 to the provincial chief minister, "I don't think his profile is inspirational enough to link with our cricket stadium's identity." As of April 2012, however, it does not appear that the stadium's name will be changed after all.

Redesigned:
In 1995–96, the Gaddafi Stadium was renovated by architect Nayyar Ali Dada who was qualified from the National College of Arts Lahore for the 1996 Cricket World Cup. Dada's redesign was done with red, hand-laid brickwork and arches. Dada also had plastic seating installed in place of the existing concrete benches. The lower portion under the stands was enclosed and converted to shops for boutiques and offices. Gaddafi Stadium is the largest cricket stadium in Pakistan that used to have a capacity of 60,000 spectators until the redesigning of its enclosures reduced the capacity to 27,000.
