The National Cricket League T10 is a domestic cricket tournament played in the United States of America. The tournament is played in the T10 format and has been held since 2023. An approval by the International Cricket Council (ICC) was secured by the league in 2024.
The tournament features six franchise based teams, each representing a city from the USA. As of 2024, the participating teams are Atlanta Kings CC, Dallas Lonestars CC, Chicago CC, New York Lions CC, Los Angeles Waves CC, and Texas Gladiators CC. Each team comprises of both retired and active players.
The tournament follows a round-robin format wherein each team plays the other once in the league stage. A team earns two points for a win, one for a match with no result, and zero for a loss. If two teams end with the same number of points then the number of wins and net run-rate act as the tiebreaker. The top four teams at the end of the league stage qualify for the playoffs.
The top two teams contest the first qualifier and the winner of the match progresses to the final. Teams placed third and fourth play an eliminator. The winner of this match faces the loser of the first qualifier; a match that will decide the second finalist.
Chicago won the National Cricket League T10 in 2024. Karthik Gatepalli was the leading wicket-taker of the tournament having dismissed 12 batters. Chris Lynn and Sam Billings were the top run-scorer for amassing 200 runs in the event. Angelo Mathews’ knock of 85 runs was the highest individual score of the tournament.
