The 2018 Global T20 Canada (also known as Canada Dry Global T20 Canada for sponsorship reasons) of the Global T20 Canada, was a 20-over cricket tournament played in Canada.[1] It was the first edition of the tournament and ran from 28 June to 15 July 2018.[2][3] Six teams took part, with all the matches played at the Maple Leaf Cricket Club in King City, Ontario.[2]
