2011–12 Ryobi One-Day Cup

The Australian domestic one-day cricket tournament, currently known as the Ryobi One-Day Cup is the premier domestic limited-overs cricket competition in Australia. The competition includes the six first-class cricket teams in Australia, as well as formerly including the Canberra Comets and the New Zealand national cricket team. First played in the 1969–70 season, the competition has run since then under a variety of different names and sponsors. Formerly played over 50 overs, for the 2010–11 season the competition will switch to a new format which features 45 over matches with 12 man teams, with split innings of 20 and 25 overs.

History

England was the first country to introduce a domestic one-day limited-overs competition with its Gillette Cup in 1963. Australia was the next country to do so when this competition was established in 1969–70. It has been held every summer since, under a wide variety of names and formats. It is a List A cricket competition.
