The Global T20 Canada is a 20-over cricket tournament played in Canada.[1] The first edition of the tournament took place during June and July 2018 with six teams competing.[1] Each team featured four local Canadian cricketers in each squad, along with international players.[2] The Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club, Sunnybrook Park and the Maple Leaf Cricket Club in Toronto were named as potential venues to host matches for the first season of the competition.[3]
The International Cricket Council (ICC) sanctioned the tournament in February 2018, and it is the first fully sanctioned T20 league in North America outside of the Caribbean.[4] Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, was pleased with the ICC's decision to approve the league.[5]
In May 2018, Cricket Canada announced that the inaugural edition of the tournament would start on 28 June, with the final being held on 15 July 2018.[6] Vancouver Knights won the tournament, beating Cricket West Indies B Team by seven wickets in the final.[7]
