State of Origin is a call to arms that unites, inspires and connects all Queenslanders!
From the Islands in the north to the creeks & rivers in the south, from the red dirt in the outback to the beaches in the east, we are all one under the Queensland sun!
The 2025 State of Origin series will once again see the 18 Queensland Teams take the trek across the Tweed border and head down to Coffs Harbour for a rivalry like no other!
All players involved have shown immense pride & passion to make the team and to represent Queensland.
On selecting the teams, QTF Pathways and Performance Manger Tristan Mana said: “The effort, energy and enthusiasm to represent their home state of Queensland makes the State of Origin trials just as tough as the games. The quality of touch football being played is so exciting to see and I’m looking forward to arriving in Coffs with 18 teams who have prepared really well, and are ready to win an Origin Series.”
The State of Origin series will be played at C. ex International Stadium in Coffs Harbour on Friday 20th & Saturday 21st June 2025.
