About The Blues Club Cafe

The Blues Club Cafe is a casual cafe and coffee shop located within the NSW Rugby League Centre of Excellence at Sydney Olympic Park, New South Wales. Primarily serving players, staff, officials, and visitors to the precinct, the cafe offers breakfast, brunch and lunch options along with specialty espresso coffee, teas and light snacks. As it operates inside a sporting and office facility, most payments are taken via in-person card transactions at the counter, with occasional pre-arranged catering or function orders linked to NSW Rugby League events.

A charge from “The Blues Club Cafe” or a similar description (such as “BLUES CLUB CAFE SYD OLYMPIC PARK” or “NSWRL CAFE”) will usually relate to an in-person purchase of food, drinks, or coffee made at the venue. This can include buying coffees for a team meeting, a sit-down breakfast or lunch, takeaway orders, or catering/platters organised for training sessions, conferences or events held at the Centre of Excellence. In some cases, you may see a small pending or pre-authorisation charge if your card was inserted, tapped or stored with a mobile wallet and the terminal briefly held funds before the final amount was settled.

If you don’t immediately recognise the charge, start by thinking back to any recent visit to Sydney Olympic Park or the NSW Rugby League Centre of Excellence, including work events, training, or game days where food or coffee may have been purchased for a group. Check your email or paper receipts, as well as mobile wallet and banking app histories around the transaction date. To resolve questions, you can contact NSW Rugby League via the contact details on nswrl.com.au and ask to be put through to venue or cafe management with the exact date, amount and last four digits of the card used so they can look up the transaction. Common issues—such as duplicate taps, split bills, or tips being added—are usually resolved by the venue reviewing the EFTPOS records and, if needed, issuing a reversal or refund through their payment terminal provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I get a charge from The Blues Club Cafe on my bank statement?

This charge typically comes from an in-person purchase of coffee, drinks, or meals at The Blues Club Cafe inside the NSW Rugby League Centre of Excellence at Sydney Olympic Park. It may also relate to food and beverage purchased as part of a meeting, training session or event catered by the cafe. If your workplace or team uses a shared card for expenses at the Centre of Excellence, the charge might be from a colleague’s purchase on that card.

What are typical transaction amounts from The Blues Club Cafe?

Common individual charges range from about AUD $4–$8 for a single coffee to $12–$25 for breakfast or lunch meals. Larger amounts (for example $50–$300) can occur when a group shout, team catering, or meeting platters are paid on one card. If you see an even, round total (such as $100.00 or $150.00), it may be a pre-arranged catering order or multiple items combined into a single bill.

Can The Blues Club Cafe charge me on a recurring basis or as a subscription?

The Blues Club Cafe generally processes one-off, point-of-sale transactions for food and beverage purchases and does not operate consumer subscriptions like streaming or app services. However, if you have an ongoing catering arrangement or account set up through your employer or club with NSW Rugby League, you may see regular charges when orders are billed to the same corporate card. These are still individual invoices or purchases, not an automatic monthly subscription.

Why do I see a small or duplicate pending charge from The Blues Club Cafe?

Some payment terminals place a small temporary pre-authorisation or may show a pending transaction when a card is first tapped or inserted, especially with mobile wallets. This temporary hold should automatically fall off and be replaced by the final amount within a few business days. If you see two identical settled charges (not just pending holds) for the same time and amount, contact the venue via NSW Rugby League so they can check their EFTPOS logs and arrange a reversal if a duplicate payment occurred.

How do I get a copy of my receipt or invoice from The Blues Club Cafe?

If you paid in person and didn’t receive a receipt, you can request a reprint or copy by contacting NSW Rugby League through nswrl.com.au and asking for the venue or cafe accounts team. Provide the exact transaction date, approximate time, total amount, and the last four digits of the card used so they can locate the record. For catering or pre-booked orders, an itemised tax invoice is usually issued to the email address or organisation that made the booking.

How can I dispute a charge or request a refund from The Blues Club Cafe?

Start by contacting the venue through the NSW Rugby League office or general contact form on nswrl.com.au with details of the charge (date, amount, and card details). They can check their point-of-sale records to confirm what was purchased and whether a mistake or duplicate transaction occurred. If an error is confirmed, refunds are typically processed back to the original payment card via their EFTPOS terminal and may take a few business days to appear, depending on your bank.

Can I set up or cancel a catering or account-style arrangement with The Blues Club Cafe?

Any ongoing catering arrangements or account-style billing are usually coordinated through NSW Rugby League’s events, hospitality, or venue management teams rather than directly over the counter at the cafe. To modify or cancel a standing catering order, contact the relevant NSWRL events or hospitality contact listed on nswrl.com.au and refer to your existing booking or invoice number. Be aware that cancellation deadlines and any charges for late changes depend on the terms you agreed to when placing the order.

How do I contact someone about a charge from The Blues Club Cafe if I still don’t recognise it?

Visit nswrl.com.au and use the main contact details (such as the general office phone number or contact form) to reach NSW Rugby League, explaining that your query relates to a transaction from The Blues Club Cafe at the Centre of Excellence. Have your bank statement handy with the date, exact amount, and transaction description so staff can route your query to the correct person or department. If they cannot locate the transaction in their records, the next step is to contact your bank and initiate a formal dispute or chargeback investigation.
