The ground hosted its first game of rugby league in March 1936 when the St. George Dragons were defeated by the Newtown Bluebags in an exhibition match.

Jubilee Stadium stands on part of the original grant of 87 acres (35 ha) awarded on 23 December 1853 to Archibald McNab.

In 2007, the Dragons announced that they would not be playing home games at Kogarah for the 2008 season so that Stage 2 redevelopment of the ground could be completed with new roofed extension on the southern side of the main grandstand, increasing capacity by around 2000, and further upgrading to the hill area, including turnstile facilities and strengthening the retaining wall at the Southern Jubilee Avenue end.

The Dragons returned for 2009 against the Sharks in round 3, and broke the club record for highest Crowd at the ground.

This helps to distinguish the stadium from the small suburban cricket ground located in Glebe, New South Wales, which is also called Jubilee Oval.

It wasn't until 31 July 1966, that they tasted defeat at Kogarah again, eventually losing 12–9 to the Western Suburbs Magpies.

At St.George I found qualities that enriched my life – friendship, unswerving loyalty, fair play and healthy ambition, the learning to win, and to lose.The team was based at Jubilee Stadium right up until the completion of the 1985 season.

The club yet again moved in the late 1990s and explained to fans the decision was on the basis that Jubilee was too small to accommodate a proposed $30 million stadium complex to meet NRL requirements for playing venues.

In a joint statement, Kogarah Council and St. George DRLFC stated that the scale of the proposed 20,000-seat stadium would exceed the size of Jubilee Oval and affect residents.

The newly formed Dragons used Kogarah in the 1999 NRL season, before moving their games to the Sydney Football Stadium (SFS) in 2000.

Lights were installed at Kogarah in 2006, with the Dragons christening their first night game at the ground with an 8–1 win over the Parramatta Eels in Round 13 of the 2006 season.

Sydney Olympic FC played at Jubilee Stadium in their 2003/2004 season, competing in the National Soccer League.

In the years since the club have played on rare occasions at Jubilee instead of their usual Belmore Sports Ground home.

The fan base showed great support for this – having a sellout 19,081 attend their first home match there, against Melbourne Victory on 25 November 2018.

The ground record attendance for Jubilee Stadium was set in May 1975 when St. George took on South Sydney in front of 23,582 fans.

The record soccer match attendance was on 25 November, 2018, when Sydney FC took on Melbourne Victory in the A-League in front of a crowd of 19,081.
