History
In 1884, the forest was cleared to make way for the construction of the ground (originally known as Euroa Cricket Ground or Euroa Oval).[9] A plaque was planted near the main gates to commemorate the coronation of King George V in 1911.[9]
During the 1952 season, Euroa Oval hosted a Victorian Football League (VFL) match between Carlton and Hawthorn as part of an effort from the Australian National Football Council to promote the VFL across Australia.[10][11] Carlton won the match by 37 points in front of a crowd of 7,500 people.[12][13]
Redevelopment works began in 2013 to improve the ground's lighting and amenities, along with the conversion of the George Hunter Room into a multi-purpose conference and function centre.[2][14]
