The men's State of Origin series is underway for 2021, with New South Wales belting Queensland in the opener in Townsville.
For the women, they've got just one game to decide who takes home the shield.
Last year, the Maroons were victorious against the Blues - who will it be this year?
WHEN AND WHERE IS THE 2021 WOMEN'S STATE OF ORIGIN?
This year, the sole Origin match for the women will take place on Friday June 25th, just two days before Game II of the men's series.
The clash will take place at Sunshine Coast Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7.45pm.

WHO WILL BE THE STATE OF ORIGIN REFEREES?
In an historic move, the Women’s State of Origin match will be officiated by an all-female on-field team.
The match will be the first occasion an all-female on-field team has officiated in an elite NRL, NRLW or Origin fixture.
Belinda Sharpe has been appointed to referee the match, while Kailey Beattie and Karra-Lee Nolan will be touch judges.
“This is a fantastic result for the game and testament to the strong pathways of female officiating,” Maxwell said.
“We have some fantastic female officials being developed and to see Kailey and Karra-Lee join Belinda from their respective state leagues will be a significant step forward for women’s officiating in general.
“One of our key focusses has been the creation of genuine pathways for our female officials and it has been a strong growth area for us.
“Belinda is experienced at this level and no doubt in part responsible for the increasing numbers of female officials being developed.
“All three of these exceptional officials deserve to officiate at the highest level.”
