The '''2009 State of Origin series''' was the 28th time that the [[State of Origin series|annual three-game series]] between the [[Queensland rugby league team|Queensland]] and [[New South Wales rugby league team|New South Wales]] representative [[rugby league]] football teams was played entirely under '[[state of origin]]' selection rules. Queensland won their first two matches to retain the shield and to record 14 series wins, as well as the first time in Origin history that a state had won the series for four consecutive years. Maroon centre [[Greg Inglis]] was awarded the [[Wally Lewis Medal]] as player of the series.

Line 35 ⟶ 37:
New South Wales took a 2–0 lead after an early penalty goal but then in the eighth minute a try to their winger [[Jarryd Hayne|Hayne]] was disallowed after a long video-referee deliberation. Hayne's right boot was ruled to have brushed the touch line on his way to score, overruling the on field decision of the touch judge. This decision appeared to rock the confidence of the young Blues squad and soon after Queensland took a commanding lead with a succession of tries to [[Billy Slater|Slater]], [[Greg Inglis|Inglis]] and then [[Johnathan Thurston|Thurston]]. [[Ben Creagh|Creagh]] crossed for the Blues before half-time picking up a pass from Hayne after he had chased a kick. The scoreline was 18–6 at the break.
As the second half kicked off, Inglis struck quickly with a spectacular try from long range to take the score to 24–6 and his tally to two. New South Wales from that point found some structure and the game played more like the traditional origin arm wrestle till [[Craig Wing]] made his entrance from the Blues interchange bench at the 53 minute mark. Two minutes later, off a deflected kick, Wing scored to bring New South Wales within twelve and the Blues dummy halves – Wing and [[Robbie Farah|Farah]] double tagging in the role – began to find gaps in amongst the tiring Queensland forwards. In the 69th minute, another lucky kick deflection, this time off Maroons prop [[Steve Price (rugby league)|Steve Price]] and into the hands of [[Robbie Farah|Farah]] which was then passed to Hayne, resulted in
The game was watched by a national audience of 3.48 million people which was a record.<ref>{{cite news|title=NRL splits assets in search of TV gold |url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/lhqnews/roy-masters/2009/06/05/1243708627215.html |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |
==Game II==
Despite seven players being struck by a virus 24 hours before kick-off, for Queensland the only change was [[Willie Tonga]] who was selected to replace the injured [[Justin Hodges]] and to make his first Origin appearance since 2004. [[Neville Costigan]] was put on stand-by as 18th man instead of [[Matthew Scott (rugby league)|Matthew Scott]]. This was also the first time ever that every club in the [[NRL]] provided a player for State of Origin.

==Game III==
Injuries saw Queenslanders [[Ben Hannant|Hannant]] and [[Petero Civoniceva|Civoniceva]] replaced by [[Matthew Scott (rugby league)|Scott]] and [[David Shillington|Shillington]]. [[Neville Costigan]] moved from 18th man in game II to an interchange spot replacing [[Nate Myles]].
New South Wales selectors made a number of changes. [[Brett Kimmorley|Kimmorley]] was brought in to replace [[Peter Wallace (rugby league)|Wallace]], making the Blues' halves combination the oldest in Origin history. [[Josh Morris (rugby)|Morris]] was brought in for [[Jamie Lyon|Lyon]] and [[Michael Ennis|Ennis]] brought in for [[Robbie Farah|Farah]].
[[Josh Perry|Perry]], [[Trent Waterhouse|Waterhouse]] and [[Brett White|White]], all experienced Origin campaigners, made a return to the side at the expense of [[Michael Weyman|Weyman]] and [[Luke O'Donnell|O'Donnell]]. [[Michael Jennings (rugby league)|Jennings]] and [[Justin Poore|Poore]] returned from injury, replacing [[Joel Monaghan|Monaghan]] and [[Brent Kite|Kite]].

Line 97:
Queensland took the lead in the 13th minute with a try to [[Dallas Johnson]] before [[Ben Creagh]] powered over the line six minutes later for the Blues off a short-pass from Watmough. In the 34th minute New South Wales winger David Williams was awarded a try after juggling the ball picked up from a Trent Barrett kick. Thurston lashed out with his boot in desperate defence and kicked Williams in the mouth as he attempted to score. The Blues were thus awarded the first [[Playing rugby league#Point scoring|eight-point try]] in Origin history.

The tension was high right to the end. In the 78th minute [[Jarryd Hayne]] crossed but the try was disallowed since in the previous play Steve Price had been illegally concussed. After being knocked out by a Brett White punch,<ref name="Steve Ricketts, Barry Dick, Paul Malone"/> Price was "blindsided" on his way down by [[Trent Waterhouse]] and then medi-cabbed off several minutes later in a state of severe concussion.
