Baskerville Shield - Definition and Overview

The Baskerville Shield is a trophy awarded to the winner of Rugby League test series between Great Britain and New Zealand. It named in honour of Albert Henry Baskerville, who organised the first ever tour by New Zealand of Great Britain in 1907.

The shield was inaugurated in 2002, and is currently held by Great Britain.

The spelling of the trophy is somewhat controversial, as there is much evidence to suggest that Baskiville was the spelling used by the man himself.
