Centenary of Rugby LeaguePrint Page 
A plaque commemorates the centenary of Rugby League and the historical significance of the site.
Rugby league commenced in the North Coast / Sunshine Coast district in 1920 and the game has been played on these grounds since 1985. The North Coast Rugby League, formed in 1920, was based around the town of Nambour and was the first League to be established in the region.
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.
