Centenary of Rugby LeaguePrint Page Print this page

The plaque commemorates the centenary of Rugby League 1908 - 2008. 

The Centenary Plaques Programme was put in place by the Centenary of Rugby League Committee to commemorate sites of historical significance to Rugby League - such as stadiums, suburban grounds and club formation sites. Nearly every aspect of Australia’s Rugby League landscape is covered by a Centenary Plaque – with plaques dedicated to the commemoration of Indigenous Rugby League, National Rugby League (NRL) first-grade clubs, foundation clubs, former Premiership clubs, New South Wales and Queensland Country, and those sites which were host to the foundation of the game itself in Australia.

The plaque itself bears a prominent Centenary logo, the venue name, and a short paragraph of site-specific text on why the venue has been selected as a site of historical significance to Australian Rugby League.

Note:  As of June 2020, the stadium is undergoing redevelopment with the Leagues Club closing its doors on 15 December 2019, with the facility originally due to reopen in early 2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacting construction timelines in the Leagues Club site, the completion date has been pushed back to early 2023 but Cronulla are still expected to play home games at the stadium again in 2022.
