Before you book
Where to base yourself
Stay in Surry Hills for walkable pubs and food, or in the CBD for the broadest Sydney itinerary. Do not confuse this venue with Stadium Australia at Olympic Park.
Both keep Moore Park close while preserving a real city stay.
Surry Hills
Best atmosphere-to-distance ratio for this venue.
Sydney CBD
Ideal for a broader city trip with a simple Central connection.
Randwick
A quieter, walkable or short light-rail alternative.
Transport plan
Getting to the ground
- From Central, take the L2 Randwick or L3 Kingsford light rail to Moore Park, then walk about five minutes.
- Regular buses use Anzac Parade, and Surry Hills hotels put much of the pre-match area within walking distance.
- Parking is scarce and expensive around the precinct. Public transport is the default plan, not the backup.
Transport inclusions, fan zones and entry rules can change before 2027. Recheck the venue and local transport operator when event-day plans are published.
