Detail InformationEdit

North Sydney Oval is a multi-use sporting facility.
North Sydney Oval has been the home ground of the North Sydney Bears since their inception in 1908. The club currently plays in the NSWRL Premier League and still attracts spectators to home games at the oval. Only two grounds have hosted more first grade rugby league matches.
The New South Wales Blues cricket team play regular Sheffield Shield, Ford Ranger Cup and Twenty20 Cricket matches at the Oval. The oval hosted the final of the inaugural Twenty20 domestic knock-out cup competition between NSW Blues and Victorian Bushrangers. It also plays home to the North Sydney Grade club. The ground was the host for 6 group matches and the final of the 2009 Women’s Cricket World Cup.
Rugby union has been played at the St Leonards Park complex since the late 1890s with the North Shore Football Club (known as the ‘Pirates’) playing matches there. In 1900 North Shore merged with the Wallaroos club to form Northern Suburbs Rugby Club and has had North Sydney Oval as their home ground ever since, playing all their home games in the Shute Shield at the ground.
North Sydney Oval was the home ground for Northern Spirit FC, a now defunct club of the defunct Australian National Soccer League. In its inaugural season in 1998, an average of 15,000 spectators attended Northern Spirit FC games at North Sydney Oval including 18,985 for their first game against Sydney Olympic FC. It is generally accepted that North Sydney Oval is a poor venue for football. The ground is hard and compacted to cater for cricket, and for many months there is a cricket wicket in the middle of the ground.
The Australian Football League club, Sydney Swans, has played a number of matches at the oval against both Sydney Football League opposition and an annual exhibition match against fellow AFL team Essendon. In 2005 the Sydney Swans played a pre-season friendly match against Essendon in front of a crowd of 9,654. In the 2006 match, a full strength Essendon (89) defeated the Young outfit of the reigning premiers (71) in front of a crowd of 8,461.
Since 2003, North Sydney Oval has been used during evenings in January and February as a venue for outdoor cinema on an inflatable screen.
