The game’s best up-and-coming players will face off in Queensland for the first time following the success of the inaugural Under-19s State of Origin matches in 2022.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo added: “Last year’s matches gave opportunities to players like Paul Alamoti and Jojo Fifita, as well as Jada Taylor. Since then they have progressed to become established first graders.”
Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said the region was thrilled to be hosting the Under 19s State of Origin men’s and women's competition.
