Jubilee Stadium (also known as Kogarah Oval or by its sponsored name Netstrata Jubilee Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium in Carlton, a suburb in Sydney. The stadium is mainly used for rugby league and the A-League, and is one of the home grounds of the National Rugby League (NRL) team St. George Illawarra Dragons. The stadium has hosted football matches, including hosting Sydney Olympic FC in the 2003–04 National Soccer League and recently, Sydney FC in the 2018–19, 2019–20 A-League, 2020–21 and 2021–22 due to the rebuild of the Sydney Football Stadium. The Cronulla Sutherland Sharks temporarily played at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium during the major redevelopment of their leagues club and stadium in 2020–21.

The ground hosted its first game of rugby league in March 1936 when the St. George Dragons were defeated by the Newtown Bluebags in an exhibition match. The first official game was played on 22 April 1950 in which the Dragons lost 17–15 to South Sydney. The stadium has undergone several constructions over the years and are set to continue in the following decade.
