The Ulster Shield is the premier knockout 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.

From 1903 until the mid-1980s the winners qualified to represent Ulster in the Irish Senior Cup.
