Past Winners of the Parliamentary Shield
Parliamentary Shield
The Parliamentary Shield was presented in 1909 by the Wellington Members of Parliament to be the trophy for Interclub debating championships. It was soon regarded as the country’s premier trophy. In the early 1950s the Wellington MPs paid to have the Shield enlarged to accommodate the increasing number of winning name plates.
