    The Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust (popularly known as the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust or SCG Trust) was an agency of the Government of New South Wales that operated the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was merged into Venues NSW on 1 December 2020.[1][2]

    The SCG Trust operated the

    Sydney City Roosters and New South Wales Rugby Union. Soon after it opened, Sydney Swans and Sydney FC
    relocated their headquarters inside the Sheridan Building. There are four clubs from four sports codes with their headquarters at the ground.

    In 2007 the UTS-Balmain club formed a partnership with the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust and are now known as Sydney CC or Sydney Cricket Club or just simply Sydney Tigers.[3]

    Statues

    The Trust has commissioned ten bronze sculpture statues to be placed around the grounds of the SCG and SFS.
