No it wasn't ours before the 2002 as the trophy had only just come into existence prior to that Test series. NZ won the 1st Test 30-16, the 2nd Test was drawn 14-14. The RFL then begged the NZRL to agree to the winner of the 3rd Test being deemed winners of the inaugural Baskerville Shield because they were concerned about the attendance for a Test that might be perceived as having no meaning if the Series could only be drawn by GB as a best case scenario. The NZRL agreed to this and GB won the 3rd Test 16-10.

GB therefore controversially won the inaugural Baskerville Shield on the back of a drawn series, despite losing the series on overall points difference by a scoreline of 46-54.

It comes down to points scored divided by points conceded apparently. If it's a draw, New Zealand will advance.

No controversy. NZ readily agreed to the winner takes all 3rd test as a dead rubber would have hit the crowd (22,247) and therefore their tour profit. GB battered NZ in that match and 16-10 flattered the Kiwis.

especially seeing as GB are not even in the comp

Was that the same year Graham Mackay kicked a drop goal from about 50 metres away when Hull played NZ? It was almost as good as Lydon's IIRC.
