The Port Macquarie Regional Sports Stadium was constructed in 1992 with funding assistance by NSW Sport & Recreation, NSW Country Rugby League and Hastings Council, making the venue become a primary location of rugby league in the New South Wales' North Coast region.

The venue was upgraded with a 1,000 seat grandstand, transforming the area from a playing field to a genuine high quality sports stadium.

The stadium has been used for National Rugby League pre-season matches as well holding minor and regional representative fixtures.

The Port Macquarie Regional Sports Stadium acts as an alternative venue for the Newcastle Jets and has played host to some A-League Pre-Season Challenge Cup matches, as well as one A-League fixture between the Newcastle Jets and Melbourne Heart FC.

Since 2006 the Jets have played at Port Macquarie a total of 6 times where they have come away with only 1 point and conceded 7 goals and scored none.
