| Penrith Stadium, officially known as Credit Union Australia Stadium, is located on Mulgoa Road in Penrith and is owned by Penrith City Council. It has a capacity of 22,500 with seating for 8,000 in two grandstands plus hills at either end.
From a spectator's view, it is an excellent ground to watch rugby league, rugby union or soccer - all of which are played there - because you are never too far away. There are excellent corporate and media facilities. Lighting is up to broadcast standard. It is the home ground of the Penrith Panthers NRL side. A temporary video screen is used at all NRL games at the venue. Penrith Stadium was last redeveloped in 2006 with major improvements to the main grandstand.
The venue plays host to NSW Premier League Grand Finals and hosted games in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.
