The Prime Minister Cup One-Day Cricket Tournament (PM Cup) (Nepali: प्रधानमन्त्री एकदिवसीय कप) is a one-day cricket tournament in Nepal organised by the Cricket Association of Nepal. It was formerly administered by the National Sports Council while CAN was suspended. It was played amongst 8 teams in 2017 and is played amongst 10 teams from 2018 onward.[1][2]

History[]

The National Sports Council organised the Prime Minister Cup in 2017 due to the suspension of the Cricket Association of Nepal by the International Cricket Council. A domestic one-day cricket tournament had not been held in the country for three years due to conflicts within the board which eventually led to its suspension. It replaced the National League Cricket as the premier domestic cricket tournament in Nepal, alongside the Manmohan Memorial National One-Day Cup.[1][3][4]
