Centenary of Rugby LeaguePrint Page Print this page

A plaque commemorates the centenary of Rugby League and the historical significance of the site.

The development of this purpose-built football stadium was a cornerstone of the reestablishment of top-level rugby league on the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast Titans joined the National Rugby League in 2007 and the team’s first home match was played on March 14, 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.
