Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (A separate local history source describes an early representative rugby league match against South Sydney in Murwillumbah as being played at Knox Park in the 1920s, rather than a Recreation Ground in 1914 as recorded here. This may reflect two different grounds in the town, a later renaming, or a difference in which fixture each source treats as the first representative match; this discrepancy could not be resolved and is disclosed rather than picked either way.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
The Murwillumbah Recreation Ground hosted two matches in 1914 during a country tour by the Sydney premiership club South Sydney, who played a local Murwillumbah club side and a regional Northern Rivers representative team. This fits the well-documented pattern of Sydney clubs touring regional New South Wales in the sport's early decades to promote the code outside the city.
