NRL Grand Final

Like many other sporting events, the NRL Grand Final has become essential to Australian culture.

Every year, this sporting event draws footy fans nationwide to Sydney to watch live at Stadium Australia. The match is shown live on Channel 9 for those unable to attend the game.

The Grand Final is the culmination of the yearly competition of the 16 Rugby League teams that play throughout the year. The prize for winning the premiership is the Provan-Summons Trophy and a premiership ring for each player and coach.

The NRL Grand Final is not just a huge sporting event; the half-time entertainment is also a huge part of the day. Many local and international music stars perform here, making the NRL Grand Final one of the most-watched TV events of the year.

Each year, there are several events held in and around Sydney leading up to the NRL Grand Final:

• Dally M Medal: Player of the Year, Team of the Year and Rookie of the Year Awarded
• NRL Grand Final Breakfast: Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre
• Grand Final Pre-Game Entertainment

Tickets to the game will sell out quickly, so if you’re interested in attending the NRL Grand Final, get in early to avoid disappointment.

Stadium Australia is located on Edwin Flack Avenue within the Sydney Olympic Park. The closest train station to Stadium Australia is Olympic Park. The best way to travel there is to catch a direct train from Lidcombe Station, with trains operating every 10 to 20 minutes.
