Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (A likely location error, confirmed via direct re-verification: this site's data places the venue in Gosford, New South Wales, inherited from Rugby League Project, but every independent source found (a cricket-ground database, Coffs Harbour City Council's own pages, and contemporary press cited directly by Wikipedia's account of the 1953 tour, which references the Coff's Harbour Advocate newspaper covering this exact match) places Brelsford Park in Coffs Harbour, a different town roughly 300km away. Disclosed as a probable data error in the underlying source rather than silently corrected.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
Brelsford Park hosted a match on the 1953 American All Stars tour of Australia, a groundbreaking tour by a United States representative rugby league side: the Americans defeated a composite Northern Division/North Coast NSW side 26-18 on 17 June 1953 before a crowd of 5,400. Although this site's data places the venue in Gosford, independent sources including contemporary press strongly indicate the match was actually played in Coffs Harbour (see caveat).
