The NRL can today announce that Game Two of the 2019 State of Origin series will be played at the new Perth Stadium.
It will be the first time, barring the 1987 exhibition match in Los Angeles, an Origin match has been played outside of the eastern states of Australia.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said Origin was the game's showpiece event and deserved to be showcased to a new market.
"We saw Melbourne embrace State of Origin in 2015 and we expect Perth to do the same in 2019," Mr Greenberg said.
