Ranfurly Shield 2010–2019
The Ranfurly Shield , colloquially known as the Log o' Wood , is perhaps the most prestigious 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.
Canterbury won the Shield from Otago in a 35–25 victory on 5 October 2019.[ 1]
