Oriole Park was the home of the Auburn Baseball Club in New South Wales, Australia. It hosted the Claxton Shield in 1970, 1975, 1980, and 1981.^[3] The field was extended and had lighting added prior to hosting the 1980 competition.^[1] Oriole Park also held the 1988 U-18 Baseball World Cup.^{[citation needed]}

Oriole Park was last used in 2014. In 2017 the Cumberland Council announced that Oriole Park would be torn down as restoring it would be too expensive.^[2]
