Friends Provident Cup

Cricket

In 1963, the Friends Provident Cup became the first one-day competition in top level cricket. The name has changed over the years; originally the Gillette Cup, it has also been called the C&G Trophy and the NatWest Trophy. Until 2006, the one-day knock-out competition of 32 teams representing English, Irish, and Scottish counties played during the whole cricket season with finals at Lord's in September. In 2008, a new format was introduced. Twenty counties were split into four groups of five, each team playing each other once home and once away during the first half of the cricket season. The finals are played in August.
