List of Claxton Shield champions

[1] The current version of the Australian Baseball League uses the Claxton Shield as its championship trophy in the same way as its predecessor of the same name did.

In 1934 Norrie Claxton was the principal driver of an annual national competition, and donated the shield to be awarded to the champions.

[3] The Adelaide Giants currently hold the shield after overcoming the Perth Heat in the 2023–24 Australian Baseball League season.

It was the Adelaide Giants first ABL title and seventeen time a South Australian team has won the Claxton Shield.

Though city-based teams have competed for the Claxton Shield in some seasons, including under the current ABL format, the name engraved on the shield is that of the winning state; for the 2010–11 ABL season won by the Perth Heat, "West Australia 2011" was engraved.
