The 2011 Legends of Origin charity match was a rugby league football game played on 27 January 2011 at Parramatta Stadium in Sydney.
After the devastating floods that had affected most of Queensland including its capital city of Brisbane, Mark Geyer from radio station Triple M Sydney on his breakfast program The Grill Team announced that he will be organising a charity match to raise funds for the recovery effort.

The match featured former State of Origin players, while a Sydney grocerer Tony Trim was included in the New South Wales side after donating $14,600 to the flood relief effort.
It was also the number one programme of the week on Foxtel with 272,000 viewers[3] and countless more listening live on radio.
