Ground facts
| Opened | not identified in sources found (Coogee Oval's main grandstand dates to 1924, but that is a structure date, not the ground's opening -- the ground was already hosting rugby league by 1914. This is fundamentally a rugby union venue (home of Randwick Rugby Union Club and NSW Country Eagles), not a rugby league ground -- its 5 recorded rugby league matches are a single forfeited 1914 Reserve Grade fixture (background not established in any source found) plus four modern South Sydney Rabbitohs NSW Cup "pathways" games (2023-2026) deliberately scheduled there as one-off away-from-home fixtures, not a change of tenancy.) |
