Colloquially known as Shark Park during Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks matches, and known by its commercial name Southern Cross Group Stadium[1][2]. Shark Park is a rugby league stadium in the southern Sydney suburb of Woolooware, New South Wales, Australia. It is the home ground of the Cronulla-Sutherland Rugby League Club, which represents the Cronulla and Sutherland Shire areas in the National Rugby League competition. Unique among NRL clubs, the Sharks own and operate their home ground. The Sharkies Leagues Club sits beside the stadium.

History

The stadium was built in 1960 and currently has a capacity of 22,000.[2]

The Cronulla-Sutherland Rugby League Club own the stadium and Leagues Club next door, the only club in the NRL to own their own stadium. Local councils usually own sporting venues in Australia.

On 21 April 2006, the Federal Government announced a A$9.6 million grant would be given to the Cronulla Sharks to upgrade the stadium. The upgrade included a new covered stand to seat over 1,500 spectators at the southern end. The new stand was completed in time for the 2008 season.

Renovations are also planned for the ET Stand, named for Cronulla club legend and games record holder Andrew Ettingshausen, and the Peter Burns Stand. Facilities planned for the Leagues Club include a new swimming pool and a gym.

Ground usage

Rugby league

In the NRL competition, the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks team has been playing at this venue since 1969, which was the clubs third season into the competition (they had previously played at Sutherland Oval from 1967 until 1968).

High turnout in crowd numbers are usual when the Sharks play local-derby rivals, the St George Illawarra Dragons. The ground attendance record is 22,302, which was set when the Sharks took on the Dragons in May 2004.

In late 2017, the ground hosted the 2017 Women's Rugby League World Cup tournament. It played host to the group stages and semi-finals matches. The grand final was held at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

Soccer

The Sydney Olympic FC club played at the ground for two seasons, from 2001 until 2003, in the former National Soccer League.
