The 2012 Trinidad and Tobago Charity Shield (known as the Digicel Charity Shield for sponsorship reasons) was the inaugural edition of the Charity Shield, which was a football match that opened the 2012–13 TT Pro League season. The match was played at Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella on 8 September 2012, between the winners of the previous season's Pro League and Pro Bowl competitions. The match was contested by the 2012 Digicel Pro Bowl winners, Defence Force, and the champions of the 2011–12 Pro League, W Connection. The Savonetta Boys won the match 2–0 with goals from Shahdon Winchester and Joevin Jones, who was later named the Man of the Match.
The winners of the Charity Shield, W Connection received TT$10,000 donated to a charitable cause of choice. It was announced that the charitable cash prize would be given to the captain of W Connection, Jan-Michael Williams, to offset medical expenses for his fiancée Candice Worrell. Worrell was brutally assaulted while being relieved of her mobile phone in January 2012 and was comatose for nearly three months. Additionally, part proceeds generated from the gate receipts will also go towards introducing the "Read to Rise" Primary Literacy Program to a school within W Connection's community.
