Highlights
Overview
The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Museum is dedicated to collecting, documenting, preserving and displaying the unique sporting and social activities that have occurred on the grounds of the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Sports Ground since the mid-1800s.
Significant items in the museum include the baggy green caps of cricket legends Victor Trumper, Don Bradman and Steve Waugh, and Ricky Ponting's 2007 bat.
There are also early documents from the grounds' administration, and images of early international sporting matches played at the SCG.
