International Origin was an annual series of rugby league football matches between England and the Exiles.

Plans were in the works to make this into a three-game series for the future, however it was scaled back to a standalone fixture in 2013 due to a lack of interest from both players and spectators.

In 2011 the RFL decided to take the first steps into making the International Origin a success, they had a marketing team put together a couple of screen shots of a hooded figure with the Exiles logo on the front of the hooded garment, this created interest in the rugby league community as these were present at quite a few Super League games in 2011.

's powerful second-rower Willie Manu provided the first try for the Exiles after Wigan Warriors Thomas Leuluai carved up the English defence and offloaded the ball.

The Exiles were to strike next on the scoreboard though, some neat interplay from Rangi Chase, George Carmont and Glenn Morrison saw the Exiles go 55 metres in one play down the left before Leuluai found Brett Hodgson in the centre of the field who provided a nice cross field kick into the arms of Tony Puletua who simple tapped it infield to St Helens R.F.C.

However, with 10 minutes to go Wigan Warriors second-rower Joel Tomkins intercepted a pass on his own 10-metre line and raced nearly the length of the field to score a try, Sinfield once again added the extras to put England into a 12–10 lead.

However England remained dominant after the break and a try from Sam Tomkins sealed the win as Kevin Sinfield kicked all 3 goals, the Exiles were able to conjure up a consolation try through Daryl Millard and a Scott Dureau conversion before the end.

England would play the Exiles in a one-off Test match at Warrington Wolves home ground Halliwell Jones Stadium on 14 June 2013.
