The ground is a former TFL and now Tasmanian State League and also a Southern Football League finals venue.
It is located in the heart of Glenorchy less than 1 kilometre from the Glenorchy CBD, and 7 kilometres from Hobart City. It is also the third largest capacity venue in Tasmanian football after North Hobart Oval (18,000), and York Park (20,000).
KGV Oval is not to be confused with KGV Park, an adjoining association football (soccer) ground, which serves as the home of soccer in Tasmania and the base of Football Federation Tasmania.
