The '''Texaco Trophy''' was the name used for [[One Day International]] cricket tournaments held in [[England and Wales Cricket Board|England]] from 1984 until 1998.

The series were sponsored by American oil company [[Texaco]] replacing the previous sponsorship by the UK's [[Prudential plc|Prudential]] (between 1972 and 1982). Depending on the number of teams touring England in a given season, there would typically be either one or two series each year, involving [[England cricket team|the home side]] and each visiting side. The series usually consisted of three matches, but varied in length between one and five matches.

==Notable matches==
In a 1984 match at [[Old Trafford (cricket)|Old Trafford]] between England and the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]], [[Vivian Richards]] scored 189 not out, then the world-record score for a [[Limited overs cricket|limited-overs]] international match.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/284257.html|title=Records | One-Day Internationals | Batting records | Most runs in an innings (progressive record holder) |website=Cricinfo|access-date=16 November 2021}}</ref>

In the second match of the 1993 series against Australia, [[Robin Smith (cricketer)|Robin Smith]] scored 167 not out, which remained the record score by any England batsman in One Day Internationals until August 2016 when Alex Hales scored 171 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge. England, however, went on to lose the match.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-tour-of-england-and-ireland-1993-61338/england-vs-australia-2nd-odi-65009/full-scorecard|title=Full Scorecard of England vs Australia 2nd ODI 1993 - Score Report |website=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_innings.html?class=2&id=1&type=team|title=England Cricket Team Records & Stats|website=Cricinfo|access-date=16 November 2021}}</ref>

The second match of the 1989 series at [[Trent Bridge]], [[Nottingham]] was a tie with both England and [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] scoring 226 from 55 overs. With the other two matches in the 3-match series split 1-1, England were awarded the series by virtue of having lost fewer wickets in the tied match (they also had a superior overall run-rate.)
