Name history

    Rugby league history

    Cahill Park in Gatton, Queensland is named for Father James Vincent (Jim) Cahill, the local Catholic parish priest who fostered youth sport in the town; he died the night before the ground's official opening. Built through volunteer labour tied to the founding of Gatton Leagues Club, it has hosted Queensland representative and State League fixtures involving Brisbane clubs in the 1980s alongside Queensland Cup 'Clydesdales' matches in the 2000s, and continues in use today, with a Queensland Rugby League Women's Premiership fixture recorded as recently as August 2026. Independently re-verified via direct WebFetch of the venue's own results table: 7 matches are recorded in total, one beyond the directory's stated last year of 2017, confirming a 2026 fixture is genuinely logged there.
