Each of the six state teams play in a round-robin series of home and away 4-day matches against every other team. Teams are awarded points based on the results of the match, and after each pair of teams have played each other twice, the two highest ranked teams play a 5-day final.

History

In 1891-92 the Earl of Sheffield was in Australia as the promoter of the English team led by W. G. Grace. The tour included three Tests played in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. Henry North Holroyd, 3rd Earl of Sheffield (born January 18, 1832 in Marylebone, London - died April 21, 1909 in Beaulieu, France), also known as Viscount Pevensey before his succession to the title, was an English cricketer. ... William Gilbert WG Grace (July 18, 1848 – October 23, 1915) was an English cricketer who, by his extraordinary skills, made cricket perhaps the first modern spectator sport, and who developed most of the techniques of modern batting. ...

At the conclusion of the tour, Sheffield donated £150 to the New South Wales Cricket Association to fund a trophy for an annual tournament of intercolonial cricket in Australia. The three colonies of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia were already regularly playing ad-hoc matches which were very popular.

The new tournament commenced in the summer of 1892 with the three colonies playing for a silver shield named after its benefactor. 1892 (MDCCCXCII) was a leap year starting on Friday (see link for calendar). ...


Sponsorship and name change

In 1999, the Australian Cricket Board (now Cricket Australia) announced a 4 year sponsorship deal which included renaming the Sheffield Shield to the Pura Milk Cup, then to the Pura Cup the following season. Pura is a brand name of National Foods a wholly owned subsidiary of the Philippines based San Miguel Corporation. This article is about the year. ...

San Miguel Corporation (PSE: SMC and SMCB) is the largest publicly listed food, beverage and packaging company in the Philippines. ...


Although the competition had been running with losses of several million dollars per annum, cricket traditionalists protested strongly, arguing against the encroaching wave of commercialism damaging the competition that had been running for over 100 years. Many cricket lovers still refer to the competition as the "Shield" either as force of habit, or as a subtle protest.


The sponsorship increased total annual prize money to A$220,000, with the winners receiving A$75,000 and the runners up A$45,000.

Points system

A number of different systems have been used over the years. Currently, points are awarded for each match during the home and away season, with the top two teams playing in the final. The team with the most points hosts the final on their home ground and only needs to draw that match to win the title.

Category What it means Points
First innings points The team that scores the most runs in their first innings, whether they bat first or second 2 - retained even if beaten outright
Outright win The team that wins the match, whether they win, lose or tie the first innings 6 - maximum points
Tied match If both teams finish on equal runs after completing two innings each 3 - irrespective of first innings result
Tied innings Equal runs on first innings and no outright result 1 each
Outright loss Team who loses the match after a tie in the first innings 1
First innings loss Team with the least amount of runs in the first innings 0
Outright loss Team who loses the match after losing in the first innings 0
Abandoned/Draw Abandoned or drawn match with no first innings result 0

Winners table

Prior to the introduction of a Final in 1982/83, the team with most points after the home and away rounds was declared the winner.
