The Kennedy Shield was a second-division rugby league competition centred around the city of Wagga Wagga in the Australian state of New South Wales.[1] Playing in roughly the same geographical area as the Group 9 Rugby League, the competition featured many smaller towns, some of which were currently or had previously competed in group-level football, while also containing clubs from suburban Wagga Wagga.[2][3][4]

Throughout the competition's existence, ten teams took part in various seasons.[5][6]
