Belmore Sports Ground, Rugby league stadium in Belmore, Australia.
Belmore Sports Ground is a rugby league stadium featuring a main covered grandstand with approximately 9,000 seats, standing areas at both ends, and a large hill section. The venue holds about 19,000 spectators total and contains modern training facilities beneath the main stand.
Belmore Park was assembled from three land purchases between 1918 and 1921 on the former Gunn's Paddock. In 1936 the council bought a stand from the Sydney Cricket Ground and re-erected it here as unemployment relief work; Mayor SE Parry opened it on 14 March 1936. Around 1967 other sports were moved elsewhere and rugby league was given priority.
The eastern spectators' hill is named after Canterbury legend Terry Lamb. Canterbury-Bankstown returned for two NRL home games in 2015, their 80th-anniversary season, and in 2016 hosted Cook Islands versus Lebanon in an international. The ground also held its first NRLW matches in 2023.
The stadium is located near Belmore railway station, making it easy to reach by public transport. It is advisable to arrive early for large events to secure a good viewing spot.
The ground record attendance was set on 12 April 1993, when 27,804 saw Canterbury-Bankstown beat Parramatta 42–6 in Round 5 of the 1993 NSWRL season. The eastern spectators' hill is named after Canterbury legend Terry Lamb.
