USA Cricket Announces Inaugural North American Cup

USA Cricket will be organizing the inaugural North American Cup, a new tournament featuring national teams from the U.S., Canada, Bermuda and Bahamas plus the Cayman Islands, to be hosted in the Cayman Islands from April 19–27.

“As cricket takes its rightful place on the Olympic stage, we are proud to launch the ‘North America Championship’ a milestone moment for the sport in our region,” said Venu Pisike, USA Cricket chairman. “This Championship marks a vital stepping stone in strengthening cricket across the Americas, both competitively and commercially.”

The tournament will be played in the T20 format and teams will compete in a group stage, followed by playoffs to determine the champion. The North American Cup is a collaborative effort among the cricket boards in the region to boost their international exposure and offer more competitive match experience to associate nations.

“We are honored that Cayman Cricket will be hosting this prestigious event for two consecutive years and we see it as a significant opportunity for our players to gauge and elevate their performance levels,” said Courtney Myles, Cayman Cricket president. “In addition, this tournament will serve as a catalyst for sports tourism by strengthening communications among the tourism departments of all participating countries. We are excited to leverage this event to promote Cayman’s vibrant sporting culture and our commitment to enhancing international collaboration.”
