LMRFF is the host for the NNSW Australia Cup Qualifying final rounds. The inaugural event at the facility was played on the weekend of 20–21 June 2015.[3]
On May 21 2015, it was announced that the LMRFF would become the training facility for A-League team, the Newcastle Jets.[4] This coincided with FFA taking ownership of the club. The team had previously trained at Ray Watt Oval at the University of Newcastle.
The main building at the LMRFF was named after former Liverpool FC footballer, Craig Johnston, on 22 November 2023. Johnston grew up in Boolaroo and Speers Point, where the LMRFF is located, before he left home as a 15-year-old. The building, officially opened in 2020, was part of stage two of the $14.5 million LMRFF Project. [5]
