The 2016–17 Plunket Shield is the 88th season of official first-class cricket in New Zealand. The competition started on 22 October 2016, and will run to 1 April 2017.[1] The round of fixtures scheduled to start in early March 2017 will be day/night matches.[2][3] In the first round of matches, Michael Papps playing for Wellington, became the first player to score 10,000 runs in the Plunket Shield.[4]
The start of the round four fixture between Wellington and Central Districts was delayed because of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck New Zealand on 14 November 2016.[5] It was later abandoned because of frequent aftershocks in the area.[6]
