The Sydney Cricket Ground has been home to the Sydney Swans since the club relocated from South Melbourne in 1982. A heritage-listed venue blending Victorian-era grandstands with modern redevelopments, it remains one of Australian sport's most storied grounds.

History

The SCG dates to 1848, making it one of the oldest sporting grounds in the country. The Ladies' Stand (1896) and Members' Pavilion (1886) are heritage-listed. The ground was redeveloped through the 2010s with the construction of the new Victor Trumper Stand (2014). The Swans have played home matches here since 1982, with occasional matches at ENGIE Stadium across the city.
