George, Western Cape, South Africa

Outeniqua Park Rugby Stadium is an iconic Southern Cape landmark. It is the bastion of rugby in the region and fitting as the biggest stadium for the biggest sport in the region.

The stadium is situated close to the city centre along a busy road that connects George to Oudtshoorn, the N1 and the interior of South Africa.

It 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 Japanes team was based in George and used the stadium as their training facility.

The IRB International Sevens tournament was successfully hosted by SWD Rugby from 2001 to 2010 before it was moved to Port Elizabeth because a larger venue was needed. The 7`s Premier League (based on the IPL cricket concept) replaced the tournament in 2012.
