The Cube Sydney (officially the Campbelltown Convention Entertainment Centre) is the premier large-scale tournament venue of South West Sydney. Situated within the sprawling Campbelltown Catholic Club precinct, this multi-purpose "Super-Arena" is famous for hosting Australia’s most significant independent poker festivals. With its high-tech infrastructure and eight-metre ceilings, the venue offers a cavernous, "Main Event" atmosphere that transforms a standard club session into a world-class professional championship experience.


Why The Cube Sydney?

  • The Fortress of APT Sydney: The Cube Sydney is the spiritual home of the Australian Poker Tour (APT) in Sydney. Its massive exhibition floor is capable of hosting over 60 tables simultaneously, making it the primary battleground for series that draw thousands of entries and record-breaking prize pools.

  • High-Production Arena: Designed for live entertainment and conventions, the venue features state-of-the-art acoustics and lighting, providing a theatrical backdrop for final tables and televised RFID feature table action.

  • Marconi Cup & League Integration: Beyond the APT, the venue frequently collaborates with The Poker Palace and local leagues to host Day 2s and regional championships, serving as the high-capacity solution for Sydney’s growing "Mind Sports" community.

  • Integrated Entertainment Precinct: Players have immediate access to the Campbelltown Catholic Club, which features diverse dining options like Kyūbi Modern Asian Dining, multiple sports bars, and the adjacent Rydges Campbelltown for a total "stay-and-play" experience.

The Cube Sydney Poker Experience

Poker at The Cube Sydney is defined by "Big Event" energy. Unlike smaller club rooms, the action here is concentrated into intense, multi-day festivals. During an APT Sydney stop, the schedule is packed with over 30 events, ranging from the accessible Opening Event to the prestigious Goliath and Beast High Roller. The venue's professional tournament directors ensure strict adherence to TDA standards, creating a competitive arena that attracts the region's elite "regs" and international travelers.

For consistent weekly action, the club hosts Poker Palace sessions in the main Club Lounge, typically featuring a $3,000 Guaranteed tournament every Tuesday night with an affordable $20 buy-in. This provides local players with a reliable weekly grind that serves as a pathway to the larger championship series held in the main auditorium. The atmosphere is social and high-energy, fueled by the club's massive membership base and legendary hospitality.

Strategically located in Campbelltown, the venue offers a level of convenience unmatched by inner-city casinos. With extensive complimentary parking and a direct link to the Rydges Hotel, players can focus entirely on their performance. Whether you are grabbing a quick break at The Bistro or analyzing hands at the Harvest Beer Co. microbrewery next door, The Cube offers a premium lifestyle experience for the modern poker enthusiast.
