Stadium
The Waratahs play at Sydney Football Stadium, which is in Sydney's Moore Park, adjacent to the Sydney Cricket Ground. The capacity for the stadium is 45,500. The Waratahs share the ground with Sydney FC and the Sydney Roosters.
In 2009, the Waratahs signed a multi-million dollar deal with ANZ Stadium which will see them play at least one game per season at the Sydney Olympic Park stadium until 2015. All Waratah home finals matches are also played at the 83,500 capacity stadium.
As well as Sydney Football Stadium, the Waratahs have on occasion played fixtures at other stadiums throughout the state. During the Australian Provincial Championship, in which the Waratahs had two fixtures, the games were taken to the Central Coast Stadium in Gosford, and the other to Bathurst. The Waratahs also played a trial match at Campbelltown Stadium in early 2008.
