Here’s where the 2024 Indigenous v Maori All-Stars games will be held

The city chosen to host the 2024 NRL All-Star games is Townsville. The series will be staged in the Queensland city for the first time in three years, with Queensland Country Bank Stadium serving as the venue for every game.

Two weeks prior to the start of the men’s NRL season, on February 16, the series will commence. Maori men and women will compete in the games against the Indigenous All Stars men’s and women’s teams. Townsville will host in 2023, after Rotorua on the North Island of New Zealand, and Parramatta in 2022.
