Queensland women's under-18 rugby league team

In December 2017, the Queensland Rugby League (QRL) announced an under-18 women's Emerging Origin development squad and camp after running an under-15 camp earlier that year. The squad, coached by current under-18 women's coach Ben Jeffries, was held over three days in January 2018.[1] In January 2019, a second under-18 squad was selected, which he featured a number of players who would go onto be selected in the inaugural Queensland women's under-18 side.[2]

On 11 April 2019, it was announced that the first every under-18 women's State of Origin game would be held as a curtain raiser to the Women's State of Origin fixture at North Sydney Oval.[3] On 7 June 2019, the inaugural side was selected, which included Rhiannon Revell-Blair, who played for the senior Queensland side a year earlier as a 17-year old.[4] On 21 June 2019, the side lost to New South Wales 24–4 in the inaugural under-18 women's Origin fixture.[5]

The majority of the players selected for the Queensland women's under-18 side play in either the SEQ Senior Women's Division 1 competition, the premier women's rugby league competition in Queensland, or the SEQ under-18 Girls competition. Each pre-season the Queensland Rugby League will select an under-18 squad featuring players in contention for the mid-season fixture. The squad participates in a weekend camp at the Queensland Academy of Sport.
