Maine Road hosted two England internationals, the first was a 3-0 defeat of Wales on 13 November 1946 and the second a 9-2 win over Northern Ireland on 16 November 1949, England's first ever World Cup qualifier. In addition, a number of wartime internationals were held at the ground. Maine Road was also the venue for a number of rugby league matches, hosting the rugby league championship final eleven times between 1938 and 1956. It also hosted the Rugby League match of the cross code challenge between Wigan Rugby League and Bath Rugby Union

It hosted many FA Cup semi-finals, the last being in April 1994 when Manchester United beat Oldham Athletic 4-1 in a replay. It hosted the 1984 Football League Cup final replay, which Liverpool won 1-0 against Everton.

The stadium was used for several scenes in the 1948 motion picture Cup-tie Honeymoon. More recently, it was featured in the 2000 film There's Only One Jimmy Grimble and the 2003 ITV drama The Second Coming, which starred Christopher Eccleston.

The stadium has hosted concerts by many famous artists, including Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, David Bowie, David Cassidy, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Guns 'N Roses, Jean Michel Jarre, The New Power Generation, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Prince, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Simple Minds and Mavis Staples, among others. The most high profile concert held at Maine Road was that of Mancunian band Oasis (themselves avowed Manchester City fans) in April 1996, a performance which was later released as a video, ...There and Then.
