Bankstown Oval (officially known as Bankstown Memorial Oval) [1] is a multi-purpose stadium in Sydney, Australia. It is currently used mostly for cricket matches and has been used by New South Wales, particularly for one day matches. It has also hosted 4 first class games in the Sheffield Shield. Its pavilion is named after Australian Test batsmen Steve and Mark Waugh, who both appeared for the Bankstown club. It hosted a Women's Ashes test on England's 2002/3 tour and again in January 2010. The ground has also been used for local AFL matches. The stadium currently has a capacity of 8,000 people.

In the 1940s and 1950s it was the home ground of the Bankstown Soccer Club.
