The first structure was built in 1879 before renovations were carried out in 1930. Years later, the installation of irrigation and drainage systems saw the oval win an award for the ‘Ground of the Year’. In 2016, the facility underwent major renovations to create a world-class venue for key sporting events.

These most recent renovations included quality field lighting, a portable wicket for cricket games and many other changes that have made the oval one of the most outstanding venues for different sports. One of the best things about these renovations is that they allow the oval to be used for both cricket and football. In addition to these two, North Sydney Oval is a renowned Rugby match venue.

For cricket lovers, the New South Wales Blues team plays regular matches at the oval, including the Ryobi Cup, Twenty20, and Sheffield Shield. Some of the Australian Football League clubs have also played there.

Alongside the different sports, North Sydney Oval also has a function centre whose proximity to the first-class sporting venue provides excellent flexibility. The event space features an outdoor arena, grandstands, and a function centre. This makes it ideal for an open-air cinema, weddings, corporate events and media functions.

As one of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks, it is impossible not to enjoy attending a game or event here.
