Hurricane Jova of 2011
Hurricane Jova of 2011

From 1949 to 2018,

Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale within the Northeast Pacific tropical cyclone basin, which is denoted as the part of the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and east of the International Date Line. This does not include storms that also attained Category 4 or 5 status on the scale. Category 3 is the third-highest classification, and categorizes tropical cyclones with one-minute maximum sustained winds between 96 knots (110 mph; 178 km/h; 49 m/s) and 112 knots (129 mph; 207 km/h; 58 m/s). Tropical cyclones that attain such winds and move over land while maintaining those winds are capable of causing severe damage to human lives and infrastructure. The development of Category 3 hurricanes in the Northeast Pacific basin is influenced by many factors. During hurricane season, from May to November, sea surface temperatures are high enough to support tropical cyclogenesis; the bulk of recorded Category 3 hurricanes developed during June to October.

The trophy is awarded to the team that wins a Test series, or one-off Test match, between the two nations. If the series is a draw, the holder retains the trophy. It was first competed for in the 1985–86 season, although six Test series between the nations were contested before the trophy's instigation. As of February 2016, Australia hold the trophy following their 2–0 victory in the 2015–16 series in New Zealand. Australia also lead in overall wins, winning 10 of the 17 series, while New Zealand (nicknamed the Black Caps) have won 3, the remaining 4 ending in draws.
