The 2020 Women's State of Origin was the third official Women's State of Origin rugby league match between the New South Wales and Queensland played at Sunshine Coast Stadium on 13 November 2020. The teams have played each other annually since 1999 with the 2020 game being the third played under the State of Origin banner.

Background

The 2020 Women's State of Origin game was originally due to be played in June but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was moved to the post-season for the first time. The game was played in Queensland for the first time under the State of Origin banner and for the first time overall since 2016. Unlike in 2019, a women's under-18 Origin game was not held as the curtain-raiser.
