The Claxton Shield was the name of the premier baseball competition in Australia held between state-based teams as well as the name of the trophy awarded to the champion team. From the summer of 1989–90 until 2001–02 and again since 2010–11 the tournament was replaced by one of three other competitions: the original Australian Baseball League (ABL) the International Baseball League of Australia (IBLA) and since the 2010–11 season the new ABL.
