Rugby league history
Ringrose Park, on the corner of the Great Western Highway and Cumberland Highway in Wentworthville, Sydney, has been the long-time home of the Wentworthville Magpies, whose club history dates back to 1913. It has mainly hosted second-tier rugby league - New South Wales Rugby Football League first-grade/reserve fixtures through the 1970s-80s and, more recently, NSW Cup and National Youth Competition matches from 2008 into the mid-2010s - along with occasional higher-profile fixtures, including women's international rugby league (Australia and Great Britain) and an NRL pre-season trial between Parramatta and South Sydney played there on 21 February 2020. The ground sits next to the Wentworthville Leagues Club and today also hosts other sports (cricket, football/soccer, netball) as a Cumberland City Council-run facility.
