Inter-Provincial Cricket

It started with the Inter-Provincial First Class Tournament in 1990 because of the general idea that club cricket alone would be not enough to keep Sri Lanka cricket competitive.

The Twenty20 tournament was last held in 2011 and subsequently replaced by the Sri Lanka Premier League.

After nearly 10 years of hiatus, the tournament revived in 2004.

Then again in 2008 Limited Over Tournament comprised two teams from Western province.

From the 2007/08 Inter-provincial limited overs tournament started naming teams in Sinhalese.
