The Fritz-Grunebaum-Sportpark is a rugby union stadium in Heidelberg, Germany. It is the home ground of the RG Heidelberg and also frequently used for international games of the Germany national rugby union team.[1]

In its 2008-2010 European Nations Cup First Division campaign, Germany played three of its five home games at the stadium, the other two being held at Heusenstamm and Hanover.[2]

The stadium is in the Kirchheim suburb of Heidelberg and is capable of holding 5,000 spectators, 380 of them in a roofed grandstand.[3]

It is named after Fritz Grunebaum, founder of the Karin Grunebaum Cancer Research Foundation.[4]
