The Ulster Shield is the premier knock-out competition for ladies' hockey teams in the Ulster province of Ireland . It is one of the oldest ladies' hockey competitions in the world, with the first competition being held in 1896. Ireland was the first country to form a national association when the Irish Ladies Hockey Union was formed in 1894.[citation needed ]
From 1903 until the mid-1980s the winners qualified to represent Ulster in the Irish Senior Cup .
The most successful club is Pegasus with 28 wins from 34 final appearances.
