Australia and New Zealand meet in Sydney for 4th match of the Trans-Tasman Test match at the SCG, bringing one of cricket’s closest rivalries to one of the game’s most historic grounds.
There is something different about Test cricket at the SCG. The pace slows, the sessions build, the crowd settles in, and every day has its own rhythm. Add Australia and New Zealand to the mix and the match takes on a sharper edge, with national pride, familiar opponents and five days of cricket that can shift quickly from patient to brutal.
For fans travelling to Sydney for the series, the SCG Test is more than a single match day. It is the kind of event that can shape a proper summer stay, whether you are planning one day in the Members, following multiple days of play or building a Sydney cricket trip around the full Test.
For a multi-day Test, the right accommodation makes the whole trip easier. Pullman Sydney Airport offers a premium accommodation base in Mascot, close to Sydney Airport and well connected to Moore Park for match days at the SCG.
Guests can arrive, check in and settle into the stay before heading to the cricket. Between days of play, Mobius Bar & Grill offers an easy option for dinner or drinks, while 24/7 in-room dining gives guests flexibility around early starts, late finishes or a quieter night in.
For interstate, regional and international cricket fans, Pullman Sydney Airport is especially practical for a January Test stay, keeping airport access simple while still offering a polished base for getting across Sydney.
The Sydney Cricket Ground is located in Moore Park, around 20-30 minutes from Pullman Sydney Airport by car or rideshare, depending on traffic and event conditions.
By car, taxi or rideshare: Travel directly from Mascot to Moore Park. Allow extra time around the stadium precinct, especially at the start and end of play.
By train and light rail: Walk to Mascot Station, travel to Central Station, then connect to the light rail towards Moore Park. From the Moore Park stop, the SCG is a short walk through the precinct.
A Test match gives fans time to settle into the city properly. Book your stay at Pullman Sydney Airport, plan your match-day travel and enjoy a summer cricket trip with the SCG, Sydney Airport and Mascot all within easy reach.
