Until 2017, the team competed in the Women's Interstate Challenge before the game was rebranded as State of Origin in 2018.^[3] From 1999 to 2015, the Maroons went on an unprecedented 17-year undefeated streak.^[4]

History

In 1999, Queensland played New South Wales for the first time at Brisbane's ANZ Stadium, with the Maroons' winning 18–16.^[5] The win started an undefeated streak that would last for 17 years. The team were originally nicknamed the "Brolgas".^[6][7]

In 2015, Queensland failed to defeat New South Wales for the first time, drawing with them 4–all at Townsville's 1300SMILES Stadium.^[8]

In 2016, New South Wales defeated Queensland for the first time, winning 8–4 at Cbus Super Stadium.^[9]

In 2018, the Women's Interstate Challenge was rebranded as State of Origin.^[10] On 22 June 2018, New South Wales won the first game under the State of Origin banner, defeating Queensland 16–10 at North Sydney Oval.^[11] In 2020, Queensland won their first game under the Origin banner, defeating New South Wales 24–18.^[12]

On 23 March 2021, Tahnee Norris, who played 13 interstate games for Queensland, was announced as new head coach of the side.^[13]

In March 2022, it was announced that the one fixture in 2022 would be played at Canberra Stadium on 24 June, and that from 2023 onwards, two Women's State of Origin matches would be played each season.^[14][15][16]

Players

For the list of Queensland Maroons cap numbers, see List of Queensland rugby league team players § Women's.

Prior to 2019, the Queensland and New South Wales teams were largely selected under residency rules, meaning a number of players represented both states. Tahnee Norris, who captained Queensland, and Natalie Dwyer, both represented New South Wales before moving to Queensland, while Tarah Westera represented Queensland before moving south.^[17]

In 2019, the eligibility rules were revised to be more inline with the men's State of Origin rules.^[18] The residency rule was removed, which saw New Zealand representatives Maitua Feterika (Queensland) and Nita Maynard (New South Wales) ruled ineligible.^[19] Rona Peters was also ruled ineligible as she had previously represented New Zealand. This was later overturned and she was given special dispensation, as she had retired from international rugby league in 2015, before she first represented Queensland in 2016.^[20]

Current squad

On 14 April 2025, the QRL announced the squad for the first match of the three-match series, which was subsequently played at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 1 May 2025.^[21] Jersey numbers for the first match were announced on 23 April and for the second match on 7 May 2025.^[22][23] Squad and positional changes, with jersey numbers for the third match, were announced on 21 May 2025.^[24] Two late changes were made on the day of the match, with Bass replacing Owen and Lenarduzzi starting at lock ahead of Brigginshaw.
Tallies in the table include all three matches in the 2025 State of Origin series.
