NSW have secured a historic women's State of Origin clean sweep over Queensland after falling agonisingly short last year.
The 12-4 win on the Gold Coast on Thursday night was far from pretty but it was a sweet victory for captain Isabelle Kelly and her team.
Queensland inflicted pain on NSW in the old interstate series when the competition between the teams was a one-off match affair, winning 16 games in a row from 1999 before a draw in 2015.
State of Origin for women was born in 2018 and the first three-match series was in 2024.
Last year the Maroons won the final match of the series to deny the Blues a 3-0 result but not this time, in front of 11,816 fans.
