Parramatta Stadium has won the right to host matches for the Western Sydney* team in the National Competition starting from 2007.
All three sides now have confirmed quality venues for the inaugural season.
“It was a real battle between Parramatta Stadium and the Sydney Showground at Homebush which indicates how important these teams will be to their regions,” said NSWRU Chief Executive Officer Fraser Neill.
“We’re very pleased with the outcome and extremely happy that we have our venues in place.”
Central Coast Stadium and North Sydney Oval are the other two venues.
“In a matter of weeks we’ll have the coaches in place as well, so we’re well on the way,” added Mr Neill.
* Sydney Central, West Sydney and Central Coast are working names only for the three NSW teams.
