WELCOME

The World's premier Shearing and Wool handling Championships takes place in Masterton New Zealand's Wairarapa region.

From the dreams and inspirations of a few enthusiastic young farmers many years ago, the greatest shearing competition was born.

Starting in 1961, through years of fierce, uncompromising annual competition, the Golden Shears has become an icon of the shearing and wool handling industry.

The Golden Shears logo has become an internationally recognised trade-mark that symbolises both quality and excellence in the skillful art of shearing and wool handling.

This three day event encompasses novice, junior, intermediate, senior and open shearing competitions along with junior, senior and open wool handling events, and singles wool pressing competitions and the coveted triathlon award.
