The history behind women's State of Origin
Interstate rivalry between New South Wales and Queensland began in 1999 but wasn't officially called State of Origin until 2018.
In 2023, the Origin expanded to a two-game series and, after both sides came away with a win, Queensland were crowned winners on a points aggregate system.
2024 will see the game expand to a three-game series for the first time.
