Since its inception in 2014, the Royal London One-Day Cup has been one flagship summer event for the English and Welsh cricket teams involved.

With the introduction of the Hundred - which is staking its claim as the new showpiece event of the summer - the Royal London Cup has transitioned to become something of a development competition, giving the players not involved in the Hundred and younger players coming through the chance to compete for silverware.

2023 will see the next edition of the cup, and with the county cricket fixture list to be released by the ECB soon, we bring you the information for the competition including the format, teams involved, fixtures, tables, and everything we know about the final.

What is the Royal London Cup Format?

The Royal London One-Day Cup is a 50-over competition in line with One-Day internationals.

It runs over the course of a month, with the 2022 competition running from 2nd August - 17th September.

What are the Royal London Cup Tables?

The Royal London Cup starts with a round-robin stage, where the 18 teams are split into two groups of nine.

The groups are decided by a draw, however, before 2021 they were split into the North group and the South group.

Where & When is the Royal London Cup Final?

The Royal London Cup final venue and date will be confirmed along with the rest of the fixtures on 30th November.

The 2022 Royal London Cup final was played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Kent is the reigning champions, after beating Lancashire by 21 runs.

In the past, the cup final was played at the historic and iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. It was held there up until 2020 when it was then moved to Trent Bridge.
