Here are the latest notable updates on Women's State of Origin:
- NSW clinched the 2025 series, defeating Queensland 2–1 with a standout performance in game three, and secured the title after game two left the series already in NSW’s hands. This marked NSW’s ongoing success in recent editions and continued the NSW–Queensland rivalry under the State of Origin banner.[5]
- In 2024, Queensland won game two but NSW grabbed the decider, with NSW winning the 2024 series 2–1; the games were staged across Newcastle, Townsville, and Sydney, continuing the annual NSW vs Queensland format under the Origin banner.[3]
- The 2025 opener was held at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane with NSW winning convincingly (32–12), and the series schedule then moved to Allianz Stadium in Sydney for the next two games before a potential decider in Newcastle.[6]
Key context
- The Women's State of Origin has been played annually since 1999, with the official State of Origin branding applied starting in 2018; the format features three games across different venues in Australia, typically NSW vs Queensland.[2][9]
- Coverage and highlights for recent seasons are available through major sports outlets and the NRL/NRLW channels, including live broadcasts and post-match analyses.[8][9]
Illustration: Typical format
- Series consists of three games (often one in Brisbane, one in Sydney, one in Newcastle), with the winner determined by best-of-three results. Example from 2025 showed NSW taking the series with one game to spare after an early win at home, followed by two more matches in NSW venues.[5][6]
