It was in 1974 and held in in Port Moresby.

 

The Papua Team was made up of players that lived in the Papua region from Gulf and Port Moresby through to Altoau.

 

The New Guinea Team was made up of players that resided in Highlands, NGI, Coastal players.

 

The game ended with the Riot Squad being called in and a State of Emergency being declared in Port Moresby due to the riots.

 

This was like a PNG Version of the Australian State of Origin
