The most successful teams since expansion are Tamil Nadu and Karnataka who have won the tournament five times; the latter winning the latest edition.

Until 2006/07, Vijay Hazare Trophy was the title of a national under-19 tournament, involving zonal teams,[1] which had been running since 1983/84.

[2] The BCCI then decided to rename the Ranji One Day Trophy, which began in the 1993/94 season,[2] in honour of Vijay Hazare who had died in December 2004.

The 2020–21 Ranji Trophy had been cancelled but, in January 2021, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the Vijay Hazare tournament would take place.

[citation needed] From the tournament's inaugural edition as the Ranji One Day Trophy in 1993–94, through to the 2001–02 season, no finals were held, and teams consequently played only within their zones, with no national winner declared.
