Ulster Shield

The logo of the Ulster Women's Branch of the Irish Hockey Association.

The Ulster Shield is the premier knock-out competition for ladies' hockey teams in the Ulster province of Ireland. It is one of the oldest ladies' hockey competitions in the world, with the first competition being held in 1896. Ireland was the first country to form a national association when the Irish Ladies' Hockey Union was formed in 1894.

From 1903 until the mid-1980s the winners qualified to represent Ulster in the Irish Senior Cup.

The most successful club is Pegasus with 28 wins from 34 final appearances. The current holder is Ards.[1]

Current season - 2013-14

After a fifty-year gap, Ards Hockey Club won the Ulster Shield for the tenth time. The club's first win since it last won in 1963, was secured with the defeat of Pegasus by three goals to one on 26 December 2013.[1]
