J. J. Giltinan Shield

J. J. Giltinan Shield

The J.J. Giltinan Shield is an Australian rugby league trophy, first introduced for the 1951 New South Wales Rugby Football League season. It was named after the late James J. Giltinan, an entrepreneur who helped to found the sport of rugby league in Australia and who led the first Kangaroo Tour to England in 1908. Giltinan died in 1950 and the Shield was created for the following season in his honour.

From 1951, the Shield was awarded to the winner of the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) Grand Final, replacing the "Labor Daily" Cup. In addition to the Shield, premiership winning teams received the W. D. & H. O. Wills Cup from 1960-1981, and the Winfield Cup from 1982-1995. The Shield is now awarded to the National Rugby League minor premiers.
