Ampol Little Origin 2026: Another Unforgettable Series
Rugby League loving kids dream about one day emulating their Origin Heroes to don the jersey of the Blues or Maroons and represent, NSW or QLD on the big stage at State of Origin.
At Ampol, we're proud to turn these dreams into reality by giving kids the opportunity to be a part of the biggest show on earth, Ampol Little Origin.
Across six Ampol State of Origin and Women's State of Origin matches, 12 schools from NSW, QLD and VIC were given the opportunity to live out their rugby league dreams. From official NRL clinics and League Stars sessions through to pulling on the Blues or Maroons colours and taking the field at half-time, Ampol Little Origin once again delivered once-in-a-lifetime experiences for students, teachers and school communities alike.
Beyond the unforgettable game-day moments, each school also received a $5,000 Ampol Community Grant to help support grassroots sporting and educational initiatives within their communities.
