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 defends the Shield in challenge matches - which are their home games - and if a challenger defeats them, they become the new holder of the Shield.[1]

The Shield is currently held by Hawke's Bay, who won it from Otago in a 28–9 victory on 4 October 2020. This was the second time in 2020 that a team lost the Shield a week after winning it. Hawke's Bay's first successful defence of the Shield was against Northland on 16 October 2020. Thereafter, Hawke's Bay successfully defended the Shield 8 more times to retain it for the remainder of the 2020 season and the entire 2021 season.
