If you’re wondering who the reigning champions from last year are, the Queensland Maroons took home the title after winning Game I and Game III.

The NSW Blues took home the shield in 2021 after winning two of the three games, with QLD stepping up in Game III to prevent a clean sweep.

Overall, QLD is in the lead with 23 wins compared to NSW’s 16. There have been two draws.
