U16 Girls – Esther Deason Shield Winners
Championship winners
From 1970 to 2010, the Championship was played as an U16 Girls event. In 2011, with the introduction of the Australian U15 Regional Championship, the Esther Deason Shield transitioned to an U17 event. In 2020, the WBSC changed the age of the Junior Women’s World Cup from U19 to U18. This led to the Esther Deason Shield reverting back to its original age bracket as an U16 Championship.
