Darwin is Australia's smallest capital city but when Grand Final Day comes around those in the Northern Territory have as much interest as any other city in both the AFL and the NRL Grand Final.

The two main areas of town are the city centre and then the wharf area.  In both areas venues will have big screens tuned in to the big games.  Make sure you get yourself booked in and get a great table from first bounce to final siren.
