Optus Stadium capacity
The ground seats 60,000. It opened in 2018 as a multi-purpose venue, and its oval configuration means rugby is played on a pitch laid inside a much larger playing surface.
Rugby in Perth
Perth’s distance from the eastern seaboard has made it a useful neutral-feeling home Test venue. Bledisloe Cup matches staged here have drawn some of the largest Australian rugby crowds outside Sydney and Brisbane.
Rugby World Cup 2027
Optus Stadium is among the venues named for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
