The 2013–14 Sheffield Shield season was the 112th season of the Sheffield Shield, the Australian domestic first-class cricket competition. It was held after the conclusion of the Ryobi One-Day Cup and included a break halfway through for the entirety of the Big Bash League. As a part of Cricket Australia's campaign for day/night Tests, it included three day/night matches, played with the pink ball.[1] The separation of the tournaments meant that players in the national Test squad only played two or three Shield matches before the first Test of the 2013–14 Ashes series.[2]
