The Winfield State League was a rugby league football competition in Queensland, Australia. It was administered by the Queensland Rugby League. The competition was formed in 1982 and ran until 1995, after which it was superseded by the Queensland Cup.

Formats

The Winfield State League was held in two different formats.

Club-based

In 1982 the competition involved the clubs from the Brisbane competition playing representative teams from throughout the state over seven rounds with one or more finals being played to determine the competition winner. This format remained largely intact until 1988 when it was determined that the results of Brisbane club matches would go towards the State League instead of separate matches being played.

The club-based format was completely scrapped in 1991, but reinstated in 1993. The number of country teams competing was dramatically increased in 1993.

Representative-based

In 1991 and 1992 the competition was wholly representative-based. In the place of the Brisbane clubs were two representative teams: the Brisbane Capitols and the Brisbane Metros. Representative teams from throughout Queensland continued to compete, in addition to a team from the Northern Territory.
