The 1946 Claxton Shield was the seventh annual Claxton Shield, an Australian national baseball tournament—the first time the tournament was held after a seven-year break due to World War II. It was held at Petersham Oval[1] and Marrickville Oval[2] in Sydney from 3 to 10 August, and was won by the hosts New South Wales for the fourth time in a row.[3] With this tournament win, they overtook South Australia as the outright leading state in Claxton Shield tournament wins.[4]
The other participating teams were Victoria and hosts South Australia. The two newest teams to the tournament—Western Australia and Queensland—did not participate.[5] However both did host an interstate series: Western Australia hosted a South Australian team,[6] and Queensland hosted New South Wales after the Sydney season.[7]
