South American Cricket Championship

The South American Cricket Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Sudamericano de Críquet; Portuguese: Campeonato Sul-Americano de Críquete) is an international limited-overs cricket tournament featuring national teams from South America and other invited national sides from outside South America, currently played annually but until 2013 was usually played every two years.

The Argentine national team won the first three championships without losing a game, and subsequently the country was represented by a development squad, Argentina A, between 2000 and 2018.

[3] The non-South American teams invited to the tournament have been Panama (in 2000), Puerto Rico (in 2004), Costa Rica (in 2018) and Mexico (since 2014).

The thirteenth edition of the tournament was held in Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, in October 2016.

From 2018, all women's matches between ICC member nations would be eligible for Twenty20 International (T20I) status after the ICC decided to grant T20I status to all matches involving its members from 1 January 2019.
