The 2017–18 Plunket Shield was the 89th season of the Plunket Shield, the domestic first-class cricket competition in New Zealand. The competition started on 23 October 2017 and finished on 5 April 2018.[1][2] Canterbury were the defending champions.[3]
The round eight fixture between Canterbury and Auckland at the Mainpower Oval in Rangiora was called off due to an unsafe pitch.[4] The umpires abandoned the game after only three balls were bowled on day three of the match.[5]
Central Districts won the tournament, following the final round of fixtures, after their nearest rivals, Wellington, failed to win their last match.[6]
