The Country New South Wales rugby league team is a representative rugby league football team. Between 1987 and 2017 there were two tiers: the Origin team that consisted of professional players who originated from clubs of the Country Rugby League and a representative team of amateur and semi-professional players. The Country Origin team played annually in the City vs Country Origin competition against the City New South Wales rugby league team, which was made up of players originating from Sydney. This match was discontinued in 2017.{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCPkOzWel60|title=City versus Country: A match almost as old as rugby league itself|last=Mara|first=Darren|date=20 Apr 2017|website=YouTube|access-date=15 May 2020}}

The representative team has played in a number of formats over the years: quad and tri series, annual fixtures and tour matches. The most recent change is the introduction of an Under 23 age limit to the top representative team. The Country Rugby League was absorbed by the New South Wales Rugby League at the end of 2019. The NSWRL continued to run competitions for country regions in February and March 2020 until they were curtailed by lockdown restrictions. This suggests that a NSW Country representative side will be reinstated in the future.

Women's City vs Country Match

{{main|City vs Country Origin}}

City v Country Women's matches were occasionally played prior to the re-introduction of a stand-alone match in 2017.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nrl.com/womens-nsw-city-country-squads-named/tabid/10874/newsid/106564/default.aspx|title = Women's NSW City, Country squads named|date = 9 May 2017}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2017/04/28/team_announcement_wo.html|title = UPDATED TEAMS | Women's Country and City Origin|date = 10 May 2017}} In 2018 and 2019 the games were played within the National Championships. The 2020 National Championships were cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Australia. In 2021 the National Championships were reorganised, and an open age City v Country Women's Origin was scheduled separately from the National Championships.
