National Rugby League In July 2021, it was announced Browne Park would host its first National Rugby League game. It was selected as the venue for the Round 20 NRL game between the St. George Illawarra Dragons and the South Sydney Rabbitohs. The announcement came after the Sydney and Canberra rugby leagues teams relocated to South East Queensland due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney. However, the game at Browne Park was suddenly and unexpectedly cancelled just hours before kick-off on 31 July 2021 after a COVID-19 outbreak in Brisbane originating from a cluster detected at Indooroopilly State High School forced a snap lockdown in South East Queensland.

The team were instructed to fly back to Brisbane without disembarking the aircraft while the St George Illawarra Dragons had not yet departed Brisbane. Organisers advised all ticketholders would be refunded and they were hopeful the city could secure another NRL game in the future.
