Stadiums Cairns
Cairns is a major regional centre for sports in Far North Queensland and the international standard of stadiums in Cairns reflects this. All types of sports are played up here including those not traditionally associated with Queensland, like Australian Rules Football.
Stadiums in Cairns are predominantly multi-use which allows them to be used across a range of codes and disciplines. A couple also double as conference, exhibition and live concert venues as well. The Cairns Convention Centre for example has hosted a bull-riding event! Find out more about these stadiums in our blog.

Stadiums Cairns – Cazaly's Stadium
“Up there Cazaly….” And so the famous (in Australia at least) AFL song about one of the sport’s legendary players begins. Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns is named after the same legendary player. It was a deliberate attempt to draw attention to AFL in a town that is historically steeped in rugby tradition, and teams!
The stadium seats 13,500 people, making it the largest sporting facility in Cairns. Its main grandstand will be familiar to anyone who attended fixtures at the Brisbane Cricket Ground up until the late 1990’s!
There are a number of sports played here. Rugby, cricket, Australian Rules Football, and A-League football (soccer) have all had national and international level fixtures held at the venue. A performance of the Nitro Circus Live show was also held here.
