The 2015 All Stars Match was the fifth annual representative exhibition match played between the Indigenous All Stars and the NRL All Stars. It was held on 13 February 2015, returning from a one-year hiatus.

The Indigenous side was selected through public voting which lasted from 1 December 2014 through to 9 January 2015. The NRL side wasn't voted on by the public, as in previous games, but selected by the team's coach, Wayne Bennett. Both sides were officially announced on 19 January.{{cite web|title=2015 All Stars teams revealed|url=http://www.nrl.com/all-stars-teams-revealed-live-on-nrlcom/tabid/10874/newsid/83420/default.aspx|website=NRL.com}}

Preceding games included a touch football game between an Indigenous and Australian sides which featured rugby league legend Scott Prince, won 5-4 by the Indigenous team, a QLD Under 16s Indigenous All Stars vs. NSW Under 16s Indigenous All Stars game, drawn 24-24 and the Women's All Stars exhibition match which was won by the NRL Women's All Stars 26-8.{{cite web|title=Final All Stars teams announced|url=http://www.nrl.com/final-all-stars-teams-announced/tabid/10874/newsid/83748/default.aspx|website=NRL.com|date=8 February 2015 }}

The NRL announced the Women's and Indigenous Women's All Stars teams to take the field as part of the Harvey Norman Rugby League All Stars match on Saturday 13 February in Brisbane.

This will be the fourth Women's rugby league match for the women as part of the fixture, with the level of competition stepping up again next year, thanks to increased women's pathways nationally and female participation levels across the game at an all-time high.
