State of Origin is the highlight of the Australian rugby league calendar with the two teams battling it out in a best-of-three series. The event has been played annually since 1980 between Queensland, known as the Maroons, and New South Wales, known as the Blues. Overall, the win count stands in favor of Queensland with 22 wins to 13. In 2015, the Maroons will look to wrest back the trophy from their long-time rivals.
