About Sheffield Shield
The Sheffield Shield is Australia’s premier first-class competition, contested by the six state teams over multi-day matches.
Long regarded as the key pathway to the Australian Test side, the Shield carries a rich history stretching back to the 1890s and is prized for the quality of its cricket rather than its crowds.
On this page you can follow the Sheffield Shield table, full fixtures and results, the six states and the season’s leading run-scorers and wicket-takers.
