Brookvale Oval is a sporting ground located within Brookvale Park at Brookvale, New South Wales, Australia. The ground is owned by Warringah Council and is primarily used by the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles rugby league team. Brookvale Oval has an approximate capacity of 23,000 people.
As of July 2012, Brookvale Oval is the 2nd most played-on Australian professional rugby league ground in active use in the National Rugby League, having hosted 663 first grade games since Manly first played there in their inaugural game against Western Suburbs (now the Wests Tigers) in 1947 (only Leichhardt Oval with 794 games starting in 1934 has been used more).
The number of games played at Brookvale is in dispute however, with the Manly Sea Eagles stating in an article on their website in July 2012 that Brookvale would host its 600th NSWRL / ARL / NRL game in Round 18 of the 2012 NRL season with Manly hosting the Parramatta Eels.
