Adelaide Oval has long been one of Australia’s, and the worlds, most iconic venues.  Its prominent location as the centrepiece of the Adelaide CBD’s riverbank precinct, along with stunning panoramic views over the city, the Oval’s hallowed turf, St Peter’s Cathedral and beyond, makes Adelaide Oval one of the world's most recognisable venues.

The Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority (AOSMA) is the organisation responsible for the management of the Adelaide Oval precinct and is a joint venture between football (South Australian National Football League) and cricket (South Australian Cricket Association). The Adelaide Oval is a world-class, multi-purpose 53,000 seat stadium. It is Adelaide’s number one tourism destination, having attracted over 1.8 million visitors a year and is a significant contributor to the State’s tourism assets with the award winning RoofClimb and Stadium tours, as well as Australia’s first ever integrated stadium hotel – Oval Hotel.
