It was the third series to be administered by the Australian Rugby League Commission which was created in a major restructure of the sport's administration in Australia. This series had one game played in each of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with Game I played at the 83,500 capacity ANZ Stadium, Game II played at the 100,024 capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground, and Game III played at the 52,500 capacity Suncorp Stadium.http://www.nrl.com/origin-venues-locked-in-for-5-years/tabid/10874/newsid/70413/default.aspx Origin venues locked-in for 5 years Abc.net.au 20 November 2012 22 July 2014 Former Canberra, Queensland and Australian captain Mal Meninga was coach of the Queensland side, whose eight-year State of Origin series winning streak was ended by New South Wales in 2014.
