The ECB National Club Twenty20 is a knockout Twenty20 club cricket competition in England. It was established in 2008 and the inaugural winners were South Northumberland.[1] The competition is currently known for sponsorship reasons as the Vitality Club T20.[2] The current champions (2020) are Tunbridge Wells.

Format

The tournament, along with the national club competition, is aligned with the ECB Premier Leagues and to enter the tournament you must be a part of an ECB Premier League or invited to take part by one.

The early rounds are organised by each of the 32 ECB Premier leagues with a requirement to put a winner forward to the national rounds by the first week in June.

All rounds are played in 3 or 4 team one-day competitions, where either 3 teams play in a round-robin to determine a winner or 4 teams play a knockout. Once the 32 Premier League winners are determines the competition hosts 8 regional finals, these are ; South East Area, South West Area, South Area, East Midlands Area, West Midlands Area, North West Area, North Area and North East Area.[3] The 8 winners of these knockouts go to a semi final played at 2 venues, where the 2 winners of this knock out play in a final, traditionally in September. In previous years the finals day has been a 4 team knockout but it has since been changed to a straight final.
