competition. First played for in 1904, the Ranfurly Shield is based on a challenge system, rather than a league or knockout competition as with most football trophies.

Holders

Three unions held the Ranfurly Shield between 1910 and 1919. Due to the outbreak of World War I, however, no matches were played between 1915 and 1918.
