The 1974–75 Shell Shield season was the ninth edition of what is now the Regional Four Day Competition, the domestic first-class cricket competition for the countries of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). The tournament was sponsored by Royal Dutch Shell, with matches played from 14 March to 11 April 1975 (a much shorter duration than in previous seasons).
Five teams contested the competition – Barbados, the Combined Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. Owing to a high number of draws (only four of the ten matches were played to completion), three teams finished the round-robin undefeated. Of those, Guyana had the most points, thus claiming their second Shell Shield title. Guyanese batsman Roy Fredericks led the tournament in runs, while Combined Islands fast bowler Andy Roberts was the leading wicket-taker.
