Outeniqua Park Rugby Stadium

Location: George, 6529

Capacity:         10,000

Outeniqua Park is a multi-purpose stadium in George. It is currently used mostly for rugby union matches and was the home stadium of the South African leg of the IRB Sevens World Series from 2001 through 2010.

The stadium is also the home of the SWD Eagles rugby team who compete in the Currie Cup. The stadium is able to hold 10,000 people. Incorporating the field for non-rugby events, the stadium capacity can go up to 12,000.

The stadium is probably the most scenic provincial rugby stadium in the country boasting two international quality outfields that were created as part of the 2010 Soccer World Cup legacy project when the Japanese team was based in George and used the stadium as their training facility.

The IRB International Sevens tournament was successfully hosted by SWD Rugby before it was moved to Port Elizabeth because a larger venue was needed.
