The club's original home ground was [[Lakeside Stadium|Lakeside Oval]], when they were known as the South Melbourne Football Club 
from 1879 until 1981.<ref name="Lakeside Stadium"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sydneyswans.com.au/club/history/timeline/1874-1897|title=Timeline: VFA era and the birth of a new club (1874–1897)|access-date=9 April 2022}}</ref>

Since the [[2016 AFL season]], the Swans have played all their home games at the [[Sydney Cricket Ground]], a 48,000 capacity venue located in inner-east suburb of [[Moore Park, New South Wales|Moore Park]]. The venue has been home to Swans home games since the club's relocation to Sydney in 1982.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/afl/sydney-swans/sydney--swans-to-play-all-afl-games-at-scg-after-quitting-anz-stadium-20160229-gn6h1f.html|title=Sydney Swans to play all AFL games at SCG after quitting ANZ Stadium|date=29 February 2016|work=[[Sydney Morning Herald]]}}</ref> In the years 2002–2015, the Swans played between three and four home matches per season and most home [[AFL finals series|finals]] matches at [[Stadium Australia]] (commercially known as [[Australia and New Zealand Banking Group|ANZ]] Stadium), an 80,000 capacity stadium located in the west of the city. During the first five years at the ground average crowds were high, but issues with the surface as well as fan and player disengagement resulted in the club ending its association with the venue.{{CN|date=April 2025}}

The club also trains on the SCG during the season and had its indoor training facilities and offices located within the stadium. During the off-season, when the ground is configured for [[cricket]], the Swans train on the adjacent [[Tramway Oval]] (previously known as Lakeside Oval) also located within the Moore Park precinct.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-11-21/lakeside-oval-upgrade-set-to-hinder-swans-preseason|title=Lakeside Oval upgrade set to hinder Swans' pre-season|work=AFL.com.au|date=21 November 2018}}</ref><ref name=WorkOut>{{cite web|url=https://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/98129/longmire-lauds-lakeside|title=Longmire lauds Lakeside|work=Sydney Swans|date=30 April 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.centennialparklands.com.au/Sports/Parks/Moore-Park/Tramway-Oval|title=Tramway Oval|work=Centennial Parklands Sydney}}</ref> The oval is located less than one hundred metres from the SCG and since undergoing a redevelopment in 2018/19, has the same dimensions as the [[Docklands Stadium]] in Melbourne.
