The 2014–15 Sheffield Shield season was the 113th season of the Sheffield Shield,the domestic first-class cricket competition of Australia. It was held after the conclusion of the Matador BBQs One-Day Cup and included a break halfway through for the entirety of the Big Bash League. Trials for day/night Tests with the pink ball continued from the previous season. This season introduced a new bonus point system based on the runs scored and wickets taken in the first 100 overs of both teams' first innings. Due to Australia and New Zealand hosting the 2015 Cricket World Cup,several matches in the later rounds could not be held at the usual home grounds of the teams. The final was contested between Victoria and Western Australia. Due to the final of the World Cup being held at the MCG,Victoria,who earned the right to host the final by finishing on top of the ladder,had to choose an alternative ground. They opted for Bellerive Oval in Hobart. The final was drawn,meaning Victoria won their 29th title by finishing on top of the table. Adam Voges was the leading run-scorer and was named man of the series,while Fawad Ahmed took the most wickets of the season. Round 4 was marred by the death of Phillip Hughes on 27 November 2014 after he got hit in the neck by a bouncer two days earlier.
