Cuneta Astrodome is an indoor sporting arena located in Pasay City, Philippines. The capacity of the arena is 10,000.

Built in 1993, the arena hosted a number of Philippine Basketball Association games full-time until 1998. The league continues to hold games frequently. Aside friom hosting PBA games, it also held several collegiate leagues such as the UAAP, NCAA, WNCAA and the UCAA.

Outside of sports, it also hosted several evangelical and political gatherings. The most recent by a political campaign for late-actor and Presidential candidate, Fernando Poe Jr. in 2004.

The biggest event hosted by far was in 1994, when the World Wrestling Federation held a live event at the said venue featuring a WWF World Championship match between the then-champion Bret Hart and his brother, challenger Owen Hart.

Recently, the Astrodome has been refurbished, replacing damaged seats with new ones and replaced the old wooden floors for basketball games with a new one. In September, a group of former professional wrestlers led by Hulk Hogan will held a one-day event.
