The 2020 Origin series will kick-off in Adelaide for the first time in history after the NRL today finalised venues for the Men’s and Women’s series. Details -
Adelaide Oval will host the opening State of Origin match on Wednesday, 4 November. Sydney’s ANZ Stadium will host Game II on Wednesday, 11 November and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium will host a potential decider on Wednesday, 18 November.
“In recent years Origin has captivated Melbourne and Perth and we cannot wait to see how the people of Adelaide respond. The interest from states, outside NSW and Queensland, to host our showpiece event is extraordinary.” “To be able to play our third ever women’s Origin match on the Sunshine Coast as originally hoped is incredibly important to us. The women’s game is such an important part of our Game and despite the pandemic we will play both NRLW and Women’s Origin this season. In a year full of challenges, we will make history again with the first women’s Origin match in Queensland.”
South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said the match was a great opportunity to showcase NRL in SA, and a strong endorsement of Adelaide Oval’s outstanding COVID-19 management plans. “Major events will be crucial to the government’s strategy to rebuild Queensland’s economy and support local jobs,” Ms Jones said.
