The Auckland Cricket Association is the most successful major association in New Zealand cricket history. The representative Auckland side has won the Plunket Shield 26 times, including a four-year winning streak between 1936 and 1940. The large population base that Auckland have to pick from has contributed to the side's success and produced a large number of the national team's players. Since the introduction of List A cricket in the 1970s, Auckland have won nine one-day competitions with the most recent in 2011.
