The draw for the current year can be found in the tournament section of this website. Results from 2016 can be found at the end of that page.

The history from 1989 to 2011 may be found here, latest years first.

The Shield is contested by club teams representing the winners of Federation-nominated Leagues in the previous year, i.e. nine in total, plus, from 1995, the previous Shield winner.

From 2003, the Home Team is emphasised. If neither is so marked, the match was played at a neutral ground.
