Notes

  1. [a]
    Although referred to as State of Origin in some contemporary sources,[1][2] at the time eligibility for players was based on residency.[3]
  2. [b]
    Information for some fixtures is incomplete as accurate records were not kept in early years of the Women's Interstate Challenge by either the QRL or the NSWRL. In 2018, a list of players published by the NSWRL noted several gaps in their records.[6] The spelling of some names varies between sources and from those given on the Queensland and NSW lists of representatives
  3. [c]
    The ARL 2005 annual report gives the score as NSW 20–22 QLD,[14]
  4. [d]
    A 2018 NSWRL article lists Joy Mauga instead of Nadine Schmidt[6]
  5. [e]
    The QRL Brolgas website gives alternative numbering for the Queensland team, but positions are unchanged
  6. [f]
    team list gives NSW team in alphabetical order
  7. [g]
    team list gives NSW team in alphabetical order
