The 2019 final

The 2019 final saw Eastern Suburbs win their first Kate Sheppard Cup as well as completing a league-cup double after earlier winning the Northern Region Football League's premier women's division. The final was played at North Harbour Stadium before the men's Chatham Cup final. This was Eastern Suburbs's third finals appearance, having lost twice previously in 2005 and 2017.[3] It was also Coastal Spirit third appearance however while they lost in their first appearance in 2011, they had won the cup before in 2013 in a final that was played at home in Christchurch.[4]

An early goal to Suburbs inside the first five minutes to Hannah Pilley was quickly followed up by Tayla O'Brien in the ninth. Pilley got her second in the 25th minute and by that stage Suburbs was controlling the game. O'Brien got her second in the 35th minute which saw Suburbs go into the half up four nil. Suburbs controlled the second half and while they had a few more chances they also kept Coastal scoreless, leaving the final score the half time score.[5] Tayla O’Brien was jointly awarded the Maia Jackman trophy for the most valuable player with Suburbs fullback Erinna Wong.[6]
