Notes
- Information for some fixtures is incomplete as accurate records were not kept in early years of the Women's Interstate Challenge by either the QRL or the NSWRL. In 2018, a list of players published by the NSWRL noted several gaps in their records.[6] The spelling of some names varies between sources and from those given on the Queensland and NSW lists of representatives
- The ARL 2005 annual report gives the score as NSW 20–22 QLD,[14]
- A 2018 NSWRL article lists Joy Mauga instead of Nadine Schmidt[6]
- The QRL Brolgas website gives alternative numbering for the Queensland team, but postions are unchanged
