Historical Highlights
State of Origin has given us so many big moments. One of the most talked-about runs was from 2006 to 2013. Queensland won eight series in a row. No other team has done that.
In 1999 and 2002, the series ended level. Both times, Queensland kept the shield because they had won the year before. Back then, there was no golden point. The third game had no winner.
Fans have seen wild finishes too. Last-minute tries. Massive comebacks. On-field fireworks. Origin always brings the drama.
In 2024, New South Wales pulled off a surprise. They beat Queensland in the final game and won the series. It was their first title since 2021.
More than forty years on, Origin still feels fresh. Every year, the story changes. And every year, fans come back for more.
