The 2026 Women's State of Origin Series will be the ninth official Women's State of Origin rugby league series between New South Wales and Queensland. It will be the third time in Women's State of Origin history to be played as a three-game series. As announced on 12 November 2025, the matches are scheduled as Game 1 at McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle on 30 April 2026, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane on 14 May 2026, and Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast on 28 May 2026. [1] [2] The teams have played each other annually since 1999. [3] The 2018 match was the first under the State of Origin banner.
The schedule followed the pattern used in 2025, with each game played on a Thursday night with two weeks between each game. A change from 2025 was that Game 2 rather than Game 1 was scheduled to open NRL Magic Round. [4]
The announcement by the NRL included the date of the Under-19s Women's Origin fixture, 18 June 2026, which will again be part of a double-header with the men's Under-19 Origin match. [2]
