History of cricket in New Zealand from 1890–91 to 1918 This article describes the history of New Zealand cricket from the 1890–91 season until 1918.Administration The New Zealand Cricket Council was formed at a meeting of provincial delegates from around New Zealand at the City Hotel in Christchurch on 27 December 1894. Its main purposes were to co-ordinate domestic cricket and to organize tours of New Zealand teams abroad and of foreign teams to New Zealand.Domestic cricket There was no formal championship competition in New Zealand until the Plunket Shield was inaugurated in 1906. Until then, regular first-class matches were played by Canterbury , Otago , Auckland , Wellington , Hawke's Bay , Nelson and Taranaki . The 1906–07 season featured the inaugural Plunket Shield, which is still New Zealand's domestic first-class competition. The Plunket Shield was presented by the then governor-general, Lord Plunket , and was played on a challenge basis until 1920–21, since when it has been a league . In its early years it was always won by either Canterbury or Auckland.Plunket Shield winners 1906-07 - Canterbury 1907-08 - Auckland 1908-09 - Auckland 1909-10 - Auckland 1910-11 - Auckland, Canterbury 1911-12 - Canterbury, Auckland 1912-13 - Auckland, Canterbury 1913-14 - Canterbury 1914-15 - Canterbury 1915-18 - no competition due to World War I International tours of New Zealand toured New Zealand in January and February 1894, playing seven first-class matches.

His idea was that the team would be a touring team to England or elsewhere. Reese added that De Maus had obtained the last batting spot just ahead of Len Cuff , Alfred Holdship and Kinder Tucker . He did not consider for selection those who had established reputations in Australia before they moved to New Zealand, such as Syd Callaway , Alfred Clarke, Harry Graham and Charles Richardson .
