Ground facts
| Opened | 1888 (per Rugby League Project) (This site's underlying venue data lists this venue as Charters Towers, Queensland, and Rugby League Project's own venue page states the same location and gives an opening year of 1888. However, independently re-verified via direct WebFetch: RLP's own listed coordinates for this venue (-26.657799, 150.196570) do not match Charters Towers (approximately -20.08, 146.26, some 700km to the north) at all -- they instead sit almost exactly on Miles, Queensland (approximately -26.657, 150.190), a Western Downs town roughly 60km from Chinchilla, where this same batch's Bulldog Park is genuinely located. No source could independently confirm a rugby-league-hosting oval by this name in either Charters Towers or Miles specifically, so this appears to be a real inconsistency within Rugby League Project's own data (a mismatch between its text location field and its own coordinates) rather than a confirmed fact about either town. This is disclosed here rather than resolved one way, consistent with how this site has handled comparable Rugby League Project data-quality issues elsewhere (for example the Castleton Sports Centre entry, where RLP's stated county conflicted with corroborating evidence). The underlying site data was left unchanged.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
Centenary Oval's two recorded matches, a 2023 Queensland Cup fixture (Redcliffe beat Burleigh 38-6) and a 2025 Queensland Cup fixture (Ipswich Jets beat Western Clydesdales 32-12), are both confirmed directly against Rugby League Project's own results page. Its true location is less certain: Rugby League Project's text field says Charters Towers, but its own geographic coordinates for the venue point instead to the Miles area, roughly 700km away -- see the caveat above for detail. Both figure among the standard Queensland Cup Country Week practice of relocating state-competition fixtures to regional towns for a round.
