The Baskerville Shield is a trophy awarded to the winner of rugby league test series between England and New Zealand.

The New Zealand Rugby League agreed that Great Britain should keep the inaugural shield because it wasn't won outright.

England won the shield 2–1, taking an unassailable lead with victories in the first two tests before New Zealand gained a consolation win in the final match.

Great Britain toured New Zealand and Papua New Guinea in 2019, which was the first Baskerville Shield to be played out in the southern hemisphere.

The highest attendance in the history of the Baskerville Shield test series is 44,393 which was seen at the Olympic Stadium, London, the only game to be played outside of the traditional rugby league heartland of the north of England.
