Centenary of Rugby LeaguePrint Page
The plaque commemorates the centenary of Rugby League and the site of Rugby League in Gosford.
As Grahame Park, this ground was the headquarters of rugby league on the Central Coast for almost half a century. In 1999 it underwent a major redevelopment and has since hosted numerous National Rugby League and representative fixtures.
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.
