The Plunket Shield 2020/21, New Zealand’s domestic first-class tournament, starts on October 19 and will be played through the New Zealand summer, finishing on April 6, 2021.

The 2019/20 season came to a premature end due to the Covid-19 pandemic in March and Wellington, who were leading the table by 26 points before the pandemic-forced-stoppage, were awarded the title.
