Every match in the lineage of the Lidcombe Shield, the lineal title of women’s international rugby league. It starts with New Zealand v Australia on 1 July 1995, the first women’s international, and New Zealand won to become the first holders. After that, the holder keeps the shield with a win or a draw, and it passes to any national team that beats them. Scores show the holder first.
