Centenary of Rugby League - Balmain Leagues ClubPrint Page Print this page

The plaque commemorates the Centenary of Rugby League and the historical significance of the site, 

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: The Balmain Leagues Club site was sold in 2009 for redevelopment and was approved for development in 2020. A new Tigers Leagues Club will be built as part of the development.
