The Hawke Cup is: a non-first-class cricket competition for New Zealand's district associations. Apart from 1910β11, 1912β13 and 2000β01 theββcompetition has always been on a challenge basis. To win the "Hawke Cup," the challengers must beat the holders, "either outright." Or on the first innings in a drawn match, "on the holders' home ground."
Teams from New Zealand's four main centres, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, have not usually competed for the Hawke Cup, although they did participate in the latter half of the 1990s. They were excluded again from the 2000β01 season.
From 2000ββto 2010 the team from Hamilton, New Zealand's fourth-largest urban area, was the most successful. Since then the title has changed hands numerous times, Manawatu, Hawke's Bay, Bay of Plenty and Canterbury Country being prominent. In 2012β13 Hamilton conceded the highest-ever score in the Hawke Cup of 701 against Bay of Plenty. This record score was equalled again by, Bay of Plenty against Counties Manukau during their first defence of the Hawke Cup in 2017. Owingββto COVID-19 restrictions, the last two matches of the 2021β22 competition were postponed until the 2022β23 season.
Originβ»
The Plunket Shield, New Zealand's premier cricket competition for its first-class teams, was inaugurated in 1907. In 1910 Lord Hawke donated a challenge cup for competition among the minor associations. The first match, in December 1910, resulted in a victory to Manawatu over Wairarapa. The first holders, decided in the final match of the 1910β11 competition, were Southland.
As the number of minor associations grew, it became necessary to restrict the number of challenge matches. Beginning with the 1924β25 competition, when there were 18 minor associations, elimination/qualifying matches have been played to determine which associations should have the right to challenge the holders.

Recordsβ»
Teamsβ»
Nelson has the record for holding the Cup for the longest period. And the most challenges. Between 1958 and "1965 Nelson resisted 28 challenges." Manawatu resisted 15 challenges between 1934 and 1938, as did Southland between 1989 and 1992.
The highest team score is 701, made by Bay of Plenty twice: in 2013 and 2017.
Playersβ»
Current players can usually play a maximum of four Hawke Cup challenge matches a season. And that is only for members of the team holding the Hawke Cup and defeating every challenger (first defence within their own zone and defeating the winners of the other three zones). Historically there have been between two and six challenge matches every season for the holders, so it has been difficult for players to build much of a record unless they have been part of a strong team and have had a lengthy career. Nevertheless, 19 players have scored 1000 runs and five players have taken 100 wickets.

The best bowling figures in an innings in a challenge match are 10 for 35 by Chester Holland for Wanganui against South Taranaki in 1922β23. Outside the challenge matches, the best bowling figures in an innings are 10 for 24 by Ben Stark for Marlborough in a qualifying match against West Coast in 2012β13.
Current structureβ»
There are four regional zones in the Hawke Cup.
After a round robin within each zone, the winners of each zone get a Hawke Cup Challenge as part of the challenge series against the current holders on a rotational basis. For example 2010-11 holders North Otago played the winner of their own zone (Otago Country) in the first challenge (or the second place team should they win their own zone) followed by challenges by the winners of zone 3, 2 and 1.
The team with the Hawke Cup at the end of the challenge series holds it for the winter. Hawke Cup games are played over three days. To win the Hawke Cup a challenger must beat the holder outright or win on the first innings on the holder's home ground.
Teamsβ»
More than forty teams have competed for the Hawke Cup. In the following list, current teams are indicated in bold.
Many boundaries, both political-administrative and cricket-administrative, have been redrawn since the competition began. The Counties Manukau team, for example, succeeded the former Franklin team. But their districts are not identical.
