Rugby Park Stadium is a rugby union venue and home ground for Air New Zealand Cup team Southland. Rugby Park Stadium is located on the corner of Elles Road and Tweed Street in Invercargill. It has a capacity of 17,000, although in former incarnations has accommodated up to 30,000 in the 1960s before the facility was further developed with seating over the proceeding decades.

The stadium was built on the site of Invercargill's former rugby venue, Homestead Stadium. In 2000, the city of Invercargill announced plans to replace Homestead Stadium with backing from the ILT and Community Trust of Southland.

Apart from rugby, The Southland Spirit Soccer Team also play at Rugby Park Stadium
