Rushcutters Bay is a harbourside eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Rushcutters Bay is located 3 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Sydney.
The suburb of Rushcutters Bay sits beside the bay it takes its name from, on Sydney Harbour. It is surrounded by the suburbs of Elizabeth Bay, Darlinghurst, Paddington, Darling Point. Kings Cross is a locality on the western border.
The area was first known as 'Rush Cutting Bay' because the swampy land was covered in tall rushes, that were used by early settlers for thatching houses. In 1878, 6 acres were reserved for recreation and after reclamation work was completed, Rushcutters Bay Park was created. Rushcutters Bay was once the site of the famous Sydney Stadium.
