The United States of America Cricket Association (USACA) is the official governing body of the sport of cricket in the United States. USACA sponsors the United States cricket team that is recognized by the International Cricket Council, and has been an associate member of that body since 1965.
USACA administers "traditional" cricket, unrelated to Pro Cricket, a private body which established a now-defunct league in 2004.
USACA announced in July 2009 it was inviting proposals from prospective sponsors, broadcasters and game development partners to help it launch the American Premier League, an Indian Premier League style Twenty20 league tournament, and it is also hoping to arrange international matches on home soil prior to the ICC World Twenty20 in the Caribbean the following year.
In July 2006 a National Junior Cricket Tournament, hosted by California Cricket Academy (CCA), was one of the first such tournaments sponsored by the USACA.[1][2] A similar tournament run by the USACA and the CCA was held in June 2007.[3] Prior to 2006, junior cricket events had been administered by other organizations such as Major League Cricket.[4][5][2]

"Part of the problem is that the USA Cricket Academy, over the past five years, has been the only US organization that has conducted independent international tours for US cricketers--USACA tours have taken place mostly when the ICC has put up all or most of the cash."
