The Ranfurly Shield, colloquially known as the Log o' Wood, is a trophy in New Zealand's domestic rugby union 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. The holding union must defend the Shield in challenge matches, and if a challenger defeats them, they become the new holder of the Shield.

Auckland began the decade as shield holders, and held it two other times throughout the 1960s. Six other provinces held the shield during the decade ending with Canterbury at the end of the decade.[1]
