Moorabbin Oval is an Australian Rules Football oval based in Linton Street, Moorabbin, Victoria, Australia. It has been used as the training base and administration of the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League since 1965.
From 1965-1992, VFL/AFL matches were played there as St Kilda's home ground. The highest score recorded there was the Sydney Swans' 26.20 (176) against St Kilda in 1985. The best attendance was 51,370 in 1965 for a St Kilda/Collingwood match.
St Kilda announced their intention to relocate their administration and training from Moorabbin Oval in May 2007, after protracted disputes with the City of Kingston over re-development plans. The preferred relocation was to be at either TEAC Oval in Port Melbourne or Casey Playing Fields in Cranbourne, Victoria. In November 2007, St Kilda announced they were to set up their administration and training base at Frankston Oval from 2010.
