The Council of African Cricket (CAC) is an international body which oversees cricket in African countries. The CAC was founded in 1997, and has 22 member countries.
South African and Zimbabwean Cricket is independently administered by their own boards, however the CAC is its own national organisation responsible for the administration, promotion and development of cricket across the rest of Africa. They are also responsible for the development of coaching and umpiring, and expanding cricket administration within national organisations on the African Continent. Prior to the Creation of the CAC, and the rest of Africa was administered by two separate organisations, the East and Central Africa Cricket Conference and the West Africa Cricket Council.
The CAC also organises the African XI which competes in the Afro-Asian Cup.
The Cricket World Cup has been held once in the CAC region when the 2003 Cricket World Cup was hosted in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya.
