The 2017 State of Origin series was the 36th annual best-of-three series between the Queensland and New South Wales rugby league teams. Before this series Queensland had won 20 times, NSW 13 times, with two series drawn. Queensland are the current title holders, having won 2-1 in 2016.
With Games One and Two completed, the series was tied with 1 win to each team. Game Three (the Decider) was played in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium; leading to a 22-6 win to Queensland.
Former Queensland rugby league legend Kevin Walters will coach Queensland for the 2nd year after his maiden series win in 2016. Former Canberra, New South Wales and Australia captain Laurie Daley will coach New South Wales for the 5th year, looking for his 2nd series win after New South Wales' 2-1 win in 2014.
Queensland won their third consecutive series and their eleventh from the past twelve. New South Wales has decided on an unchanged team throughout the series, for the first time in at least twenty years.
