The Qld Murri Carnival (QAIHC Arthur Beetson Foundation Murri Rugby League Carnival) is an annual four-day rugby league carnival for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Queensland rugby league teams. Queensland Rugby League (QRL) has awarded the Arthur Beetson Foundation with the tender for the next few years to host the Qld State Championships as part of the Carnival. The Foundation has employed MRL Qld Pty Ltd to event manage the Murri Rugby League carnival.

About
The carnival has certain basic rules. An adult person cannot play in the carnival unless they:
- undergo a health check; and
- enrol to vote or, if enrolled, make sure that their enrolment details are current.
An under 15 player cannot play in the carnival unless they:
- undergo a health check; and
- have a 90% school attendance record from 1 July to the date of the Carnival.
The Queensland Aboriginal & Islander Health Council have established a partnership with the Arthur Beetson Foundation, to support the organisation and running of the Qld Murri Carnival so that it is as a smoke and sugar-free event to help better health outcomes for the community.
