It's been called Australian sport's greatest rivalry and, to be honest, it's hard to argue against that claim.
State of Origin returns again in 2024, pitting New South Wales and Queensland against each other in what is sure to be another spiteful series.
But who holds the bragging rights ahead of this year's edition?

Who won State of Origin in 2023?
Last year, it was Queensland who emerged victorious with a 2-1 series win.
The Maroons won the first two games to lock up the shield before the Blues picked up a win in the final game to prevent a whitewash.
Here's how the sides lined up and the scores for each contest:
Game 1: Adelaide Oval
Queensland 26 def. NSW 18
| Queensland | New South Wales |
1. Reece Walsh 8. Tom Flegler 18th man: Tom Dearden | 1. James Tedesco (c) 14. Junior Paulo 18th man: Matt Burton |
Game 2: Suncorp Stadium
Queensland 32 def. NSW 6
| Queensland | New South Wales |
1. Reece Walsh 8. Lindsay Collins 18th man: AJ Brimson | 1. James Tedesco (c) 9. Damien Cook 18th man: Matt Burton |
Game 3: Accor Stadium
NSW 24 def. Queensland 10
| New South Wales | Queensland |
1. James Tedesco (c) 14. Isaah Yeo 18th man: Scott Drinkwater | 1. AJ Brimson 14. Ben Hunt 18th man: Tom Dearden |
That result took the overall tally to 26 series wins for Queensland, compared with 16 for their southern neighbours.
The Maroons have won two straight series since Billy Slater took over as coach.
Likely team changes for State of Origin 2024
Take a look at our full predicted teams here: New South Wales | Queensland
Both sides look set to be forced into changes due to the heavy injury toll across the NRL.
The Blues will likely have to navigate the entire series without Nathan Cleary and Tom Trbojevic, while Cam Murray will miss at least Game 1.
Queensland looked set to have the headache of picking between Reece Walsh and Kalyn Ponga at fullback but an injury has ruled the Newcastle captain out.
They'll also have to deal without Tino Fa'asuamaleaui in the front row.
