The Queensland women's rugby league team represents the Australian state of Queensland in rugby league football. Nicknamed the "Maroons", after the colour of their jersey, the team compete in the annual Women's State of Origin game against arch-rivals New South Wales. Coached by Tahnee Norris and captained by Ali Brigginshaw, the team is administered by the Queensland Rugby League.
Until 2017, the team competed in the Women's Interstate Challenge before the game was rebranded as State of Origin in 2018.[2] From 1999 to 2015, the Maroons went on an unprecedented 17-year undefeated streak.[3]
