The 1968-69 Sheffield Shield marked the 77th edition of Australia's premier first-class domestic cricket competition. Five teams competed across the summer in a double round-robin format.
South Australia claimed the championship title at the end of the schedule, securing the ninth Shield victory in the history of the state team.
Across the twenty matches played during the tournament, individual players put up massive numbers with bat and ball. Western Australia batsman Colin Milburn topped the run-scoring charts by accumulating 811 runs over the course of the season.
Milburn's teammate Tony Lock led the bowling attacks by taking 46 wickets for Western Australia.
