Glenferrie Oval is an Australian rules football stadium located in Hawthorn, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
It is synonymous with and the historic home of the Hawthorn Football Club, who played there from 1903 and as a VFL/AFL club from 1925-1973, and retained the ground as an administrative and training base, although the club is currently moving to Waverley Park.
[edit] The ground
The location of the ground has always been expansion prohibitive, wedged between the Belgrave/Lilydale railway line and nearby side streets.
The ground includes the heritage registered grandstand (1938), named after Hawthorn legend Michael Tuck, a 1960s stand and social club (which was recently sold by the Hawthorn Football Club).
