Here’s the latest I can confirm about the 2018 Women's State of Origin.
- The 2018 match was the first to be played under the State of Origin banner, held at North Sydney Oval on 22 June 2018. New South Wales defeated Queensland 16–10, with Isabelle Kelly earning the Nellie Doherty Medal as Player of the Match.
- It marked a shift from the previous format known as the Women’s Interstate Challenge, which preceded the Origin branding from 1999 onward. The NSW victory in 2018 was part of a streak, as NSW had won in 2018 and were defending their title in 2019.
- Attendance for the 2018 game at North Sydney Oval was 6,824, and the match featured NSW players such as Isabelle Kelly (two tries) and Maddie Studdon handling goal-kicking duties in the following year.
- The broader context: subsequent seasons continued the NSW vs Queensland rivalry, with 2019, 2022, 2023, and later years expanding with more games and formats under the ongoing State of Origin branding. For example, 2019’s game also took place at North Sydney Oval, with Maddie Studdon winning the Nellie Doherty Medal.
- For up-to-date outcomes beyond 2018, you can check the annual results of the Women’s State of Origin series, which have continued to feature NSW and Queensland competing in serial matches across multiple years.
