Abstract

The National Rugby League (NRL) competition provides an interesting example for an analysis of home team advantage as many of the Sydney teams in the NRL share stadiums. Recent research has found that there is a notable difference in the probability of a home team win depending upon the stadium and opponent type. This article discusses recent work conducted by Longden and Kannard (2014) that confirms that playing at a traditional Sydney stadium does provide an advantage to the home team even when team quality has been accounted for.
