The Waratah Shield is a rugby union knock-out competition for high school teams from New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. First contested in 1963, it is organised by New South Wales Rugby Union in conjunction with NSW Schools' Rugby Union and NSW Combined High Schools and attracts around 100 entries each year.
St Edmund's College, Canberra is the most successful school with fourteen victories, until 2004, when the ACT was released due to their dominance.[1] The NSW Schools Rugby Union asked ACT schools to 'show cause' as to why they should stay in the competition.[2] The injustice of the exclusion was the subject of an adjourment statement from House of Representative Member for Canberra Annette Ellis in the Australian Parliament.
The Shield was not contested from 2018 until it was relaunched in 2022. Finals have been live streamed on NSW Rugby TV. Replays [3] and highlights from the 2023 Final [4] are also available.
