Sydney Cricket Ground
Sydney (Moore Park), New South Wales, Australia
Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney (Moore Park), Australia — opened 1854, 2,770 rugby league games hosted, home of Sydney Roosters (temporary home, 2019-2023).
Sourcing caveat: The 78,056 record crowd for the 1965 Grand Final (St George beat South Sydney) is now independently corroborated by a second source (dragons.com.au, matching Wikipedia exactly). The separately cited '1,392 games hosted' figure remains single-sourced (Wikipedia only) and hasn't been independently corroborated — Rugby League Project's own venue page instead gives 2,770 total matches across all grades and competitions, a different and not-directly-comparable count; treat the 1,392 figure as likely but not fully verified.

Rugby league history
Rugby league was first played here on 22 June 1911 (Australia vs New Zealand), only a few years after the code split from rugby union in NSW. Was the premier venue for NSWRFL/ARL premiership Grand Finals from 1913 to 1987, and hosted six State of Origin games between 1982 and 1987. The Sydney Roosters used it as a temporary home ground from March 2019 through 2023 while Sydney Football Stadium/Allianz Stadium was demolished and rebuilt.
Primarily and most famously a Test cricket ground — also hosts AFL (Sydney Swans) and A-League football (Sydney FC).
