New Zealand Cricket has gone back to its roots with the reintroduction of the Plunket Shield as the trophy for the men’s first-class competition this summer. The Shield was first introduced in 1906 and was replaced from 1974- 75 by the Shell Trophy, which was itself succeeded by the State Championship in 2001-02. However, the loss of State Insurance as sponsors for 2009-10 has prompted a return to the Plunket Shield which has been on display at the museum. The Shield will have some minor remedial conservation work undertaken by an objects conservator over the summer before being presented to the winner of the first-class competition for 2009-10.
