State of Origin history

The two Rugby League states, New South Wales and Queensland, began the state of origin concept for the first time on July 8, 1980. Against expectations, Queensland defeated NSW, 20-10 and it took five years for New Souths Wales to capture the shield from Queensland.Rugby League State of Origin matches continue to go from strength to strength, and remains one of Australia's biggest sporting events: a record crowd of 88,336 was achieved in 1999 at Stadium Australia in Sydney and the record for the annual three game series was set in 2004, when 203,309 people attended.
