2016 State of Origin series

The 2016 State of Origin series will be the 36th time the annual best-of-three series between the Queensland and New South Wales rugby league teams is played entirely under 'state of origin' rules (1980 and 1981 were only one game series).[1]

The Maroons are the defending champions, but have a new coach following the appointment of Mal Meninga to the position of Australian head coach.
