Victoria are the Sheffield Shield champions for the 2009-10 season after beating Queensland by 457 runs in the final at the MCG.

The Bushrangers were virtually assured of capturing the title when they batted Queensland out of the match over the third and fourth days, as they only needed a draw after finishing top of the table.
