The '''Wills Trophy''', formally named the Wills One-Day Trophy and named after sponsor [[Wills Navy Cut|Wills]] of [[ITC Limited]]), was an Indian [[List A cricket]] tournament organized by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI). Established in the 1977–78 season, it was played to find the best limited overs side of the domestic season as only the Ranji Trophy had inter-zonal finals. The annual tournament was played between seven sides, the five zonal winners and two composite teams, Wills XI (named after the title sponsor) and [[Board President's XI (India)|Indian Board President XI]]. Till the 1992–93 season, the team finishing first in each Zone of the [[Ranji Trophy]] qualified to play this tournament. Since the 1993–94 season, the team finishing first in each Zone of the [[Vijay Hazare Trophy|Ranji One-Day Trophy]] qualified to play this tournament.
