The inaugural Country Cup for open school teams was held in Rockhampton during the 1998 June vacation. Rockhampton, Mt Morgan, North Rockhampton, Kepnock and Kirwan State High Schools took part.

The competition was initiated last season to provide schools from regional Queensland with an opportunity to play in a competition similar to the Catholic sector’s Confraternity Shield.

The inaugural competition was won by Tony Tarnawski’s Kirwan outfit who outclassed Rockhampton High.

Townsville will host this year’s competition. It is hoped to boost to 12 the number of teams taking part.
