  • Sport
  • Entertainment

Opened as ‘Show Court One’ for the 1988 Australian Open tennis tournament, the court was renamed Margaret Court Arena in 2003 as a tribute to Australia’s most successful female tennis player.

With a capacity of 7500, the venue features a retractable roof which is the fastest of its kind in the world - opening and closing in just five minutes.

Other features include corporate facilities, video screens, sound system, and new spectator facilities. In addition to tennis, Margaret Court Arena also hosts basketball, netball, and an array of concerts and special events.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
