Home Grounds
The Dragons have two home grounds, reflecting the joint nature of the club;
- Jubilee Oval (1999, 2003–07, 2009 – present)
- WIN Stadium (1999 – present)
Half of the Dragons home matches are played at Jubilee Oval (previously the home of the St George Dragons), while the remainder of their home matches are played at the Wollongong Showground (previously the home ground of the Illawarra Steelers).
The club has previously played Sydney home games out of the Sydney Cricket Ground (2011), Sydney Football Stadium (2000–2002) and Stadium Australia (2008), due to redevelopment or unavailability of Jubilee Oval.
The club has taken their home ground advantage away from their usual home grounds to the Sydney Football Stadium for the ANZAC Day Clash against the Sydney Roosters in the 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2012 seasons. In 2002 when the match was first held, the Sydney Football Stadium was, at the time, one of the Dragons' main home grounds, whilst in 2008 the match was played at ANZ Stadium, a very unpopular move amongst supporters.
