Dolphin Oval, Sports stadium in Kippa-Ring, Australia
Dolphin Oval is a sports stadium in Kippa-Ring featuring multiple grandstands, floodlighting towers, and a grass playing surface. The venue accommodates around 10,000 spectators in a rectangular layout with modern facilities throughout.
The ground was created in the 1970s on reclaimed land made available by Redcliffe City Council, and the first game at Dolphin Oval was between Redcliffe and Norths. The club proposed naming it Don McLennan Oval in January 1979, but McLennan asked for Dolphin Oval instead. The ground was redeveloped between 2015 and 2018 after the programme was announced in 2014.
The oval is home to the Redcliffe Dolphins rugby league club and serves as the center of the local sports community. Supporters gather here regularly to watch their team compete in regional and national competitions.
The ground sits in Kippa-Ring, with the playing field ringed by a low grey concrete wall and a tall grey metal pole carrying a small box on the right side. The long white building with a green roof and banners runs behind the far touchline. Seats are unallocated in parts of the venue, so arriving before kick-off helps secure a spot near the halfway line.
The ground was renamed Kayo Stadium under a naming-rights deal with the streaming service Kayo Sports, and it has hosted the Queensland Cup grand final every year since 2019. In April 2022 it staged the first NRLW grand final played outside Sydney.
