History
Southern Districts played their first match in 1969, against a touring England side, with the match ending in a draw.[1]
Southern Districts did not play another match until the 1983–84 season, when they joined the Hansells Cup, which at the time was a 2-day competition.[2] The team was made up of players from Otago, who stopped competing after the 1982–83 season, and players who missed out on the Canterbury side.[2] They finished bottom of the group in their first season, failing to win a match.[3] They won their first match the following season, 1984–85, beating Auckland, and achieved their best finish, ending the season in 4th place.[4][5] Their victory over Auckland was the only win they would ever achieve, however, and they finished bottom of the league in the subsequent three season.[6][7][8] After this, ahead of the 1988–99 season, the tournament reverted to 5 teams competing, and Southern Districts were disbanded.[2] Otago rejoined the league in 1998–99.[2]
