They went on to win the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield 20 times overall, including three times in a row between 1946–47 and 1948–50 and four times in a row between 1999–00 and 2002–03.

[13] The side has won the title five times since 2011–12, with their most recent title coming in 2019–20. [14] [15] They beat Northern Districts in the final that season, with Arlene Kelly scoring 110 to set up a 67-run victory. [16] In 2020–21, they lost in the final to Canterbury. [17]

In 2007–08, Auckland played in the inaugural season of the Twenty20 Super Smash. [18] They have won the tournament once, in 2013–14, beating Canterbury in the final. [19]

Grounds

Auckland have used various ground throughout their history. Their first match, against England, was played at Eden Park, Auckland. [1] From the 1951–52 season, Auckland's primary home ground became Melville Park, Auckland. In the 1981–82 season, two matches were played at Hobson Park, Auckland. [20] [14] [18] [21]

The side returned to Eden Park in 1992–93, and from the 1998–99 season they also began using the secondary ground on the same site, the Eden Park Outer Oval. In 1996–97, Auckland began using Colin Maiden Park for some matches, and in the early 2000s they also used North Harbour Stadium, but their main ground remained Melville Park. Melville Park was last used in the 2019–20 season. Since, Auckland have played all their matches at the Eden Park Outer Oval, the main Eden Park ground, and Colin Maiden Park. [14] [18]
