Macquarie Point Stadium is a multi-purpose domed stadium to be constructed at Macquarie Point in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania, Australia. The site is situated on prominent waterfront land between Hobart's historic port precinct and the city's primary northern arterial route. The stadium forms part of an agreement between the Tasmanian Government and the Australian Football League (AFL) to establish a Tasmanian-based AFL team. Construction is expected to commence in 2026, with the venue projected to open in 2031 as the primary home ground of the Tasmania Football Club and cricket team the Hobart Hurricanes. The stadium is likely to host other sports such as rugby league, rugby union and soccer. As well as multi-sporting events. The stadium will have a reported construction cost of $1.13 billion AUD and is scheduled to begin construction in 2026 or 2027. Originally scheduled for completion in 2029, the stadium is expected to be completed in late 2030 or early 2031.
