1993 State of Origin Championships

The 1993 State of Origin Championships, known formally as the CUB AFL State of Origin championship, was an Australian rules football series between representative teams of all Australian states. While Victoria and Tasmania and South Australia and Western Australia would play as their own States, New South Wales combined with Australian Capital Territory and Queensland combined with Northern Territory to have full representation in State of Origin football for the first time since the 1988 Bicentennial Carnival.[1] Section One was won by South Australia and Section Two was won by Queensland-Northern Territory.
