The Hawkey Shield is a Challenge Shield, where only teams from Christchurch challenge for the shield. It is only up for challenge when the current holders plays a league home game, cups competitions are not challenge games. The challenging team need to win against the current holders in order for the shield to change hands; if the match is a draw, the current holders retain the shield.

The Hawkey Shield current holders are Coastal Spirit, who have defended it for eight years in a row, holding the shield since 2017.[84] They have successfully defended it more than 32 times from 2019 to 2024. They have successfully defended against; University of Canterbury nine times, Cashmere Technical eight times, Halswell United seven times, Waimakariri United four times, Nomads United and Ferrymead Bays both twice and Selwyn United once.

Coastal Spirit's next match is against Cashmere Technical at Tāne Norton Park on 10 August. They have had two successful defenses, one defense was against University of Canterbury,[85] the other defense against Halswell United.[86]
