The 1999 State of Origin series saw the 18th year that the annual three-game series between the Queensland and New South Wales representative rugby league football teams was contested entirely under 'state of origin' selection rules. The series was drawn and the shield retained by the previous year's victors, Queensland.[1] Each team claimed victory in a game and the deciding fixture finished at 10-all. It was the first series to end in a draw.
