2018–19 Sheffield Shield season

The 2018–19 Sheffield Shield season was the 117th season of the Sheffield Shield, the Australian domestic first-class cricket competition. The season started on 16 October 2018. For the first time in six seasons, the competition featured no day/night matches. The first five rounds took place prior to the international Test series against India, and in addition the season breaks for the Big Bash League.

Queensland were the defending champions. The final will include the use of the bonus point system that is used during the rest of the competition, in the event that the match ends in a draw.
