The Easter Monday match is held annually on the Easter Monday holiday in Australia between the Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers. It is generally played at Stadium Australia, however Parramatta home matches were held at Western Sydney Stadium from 2019.
Background
[edit]The match has traditionally drawn large crowds, including selling out the opening of the new Western Sydney Stadium, where the Parramatta club defeated the Wests Tigers by a record-breaking 51–6.[1]
No event was held in 2020 due to the season being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
