Maitland prides itself as a sporting community, with a long history of sporting champions, icons and high performing teams across regional first grade competitions.
Our community regularly throws its support behind opportunities to host national competition events such as A-League trial matches, FFA Cup matches and NRL trial matches.

This has included the development of the Maitland Regional Sportsground, the Maitland Regional Athletics Centre and the redevelopment of the Maitland Netball Centre (the only regional facility outside of Sydney).
