The club's home ground is North Sydney Oval. In the 1980s, North Sydney Council purchased some old grandstands from the Sydney Cricket Ground during its re-development, and relocated them to North Sydney Oval. In the 1980s, the club and community recognised the potential of the Miller St location and worked with the then North Sydney Mayor and current club Patron Ted Mack to develop the ground, enhancing its historic character.

In the men's competitions, the Bears have won 5 first grade premierships, 11 second grade cups, 9 third grade titles, 2 fifth grade titles, 2 Poidevin Gray (U21s) titles and 1 AW Green Shield (U16s) premiership. [1]
