The '''Vijay Hazare Trophy''' is a cricket tournament played in [[Cricket in India|India]]. It is administered by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] and is contested by state and city teams in a league and playoff format. Along with the inter-zonal [[Deodhar Trophy]], it forms the top level of [[List A cricket]] in the country, and is an important feeder tournament for selection in the [[India national cricket team|Indian National Cricket Team]]. Matches consist of 50 overs per side, similar to [[One Day International]] matches. It was initially a zonal tournament, and became a national tournament in 2002. Vidarbha are the defending champions, after having won the 2025-26 edition.


The '''Vijay Hazare Trophy''', (officially known as '''[[IDFC First Bank]] Vijay Hazare Trophy''' for sponsorship reasons, {{Dubious span|text=formerly known as the Ranji One-Day Trophy),|date=October 2023}} is an annual [[One-Day cricket]] domestic competition involving state teams from the [[Ranji Trophy]] plates organised by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI). The tournament was started in the [[2002–03 Vijay Hazare Trophy|2002-03]] season and is named after the legendary twentieth-century Indian cricketer [[Vijay Hazare]].<ref name=V>{{Cite web |title=Sept 2022- MasterCard acquire title sponsorship: BCCI. |url=https://www.bcci.tv/articles/2022/news/55555921/mastercard-acquires-title-sponsorship-rights-for-all-bcci-international-and-domestic-home-matches&ved=2ahUKEwjptfzS16b6AhXJad4KHSr_BBEQFnoECBEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3mm6vHEfvESiDP4_cpq0b9}}</ref>
==History==
The Vijay Hazare trophy began in the 1993–94 season as the Ranji One Day Trophy, a List A counterpart to the [[First-class cricket|First-Class]] [[Ranji Trophy]]. In its early years, it was played at the zonal level. North, South, East, West, and Central Zones each produced their own winner, and success in this tournament was used to determine selection for zonal teams in the Deodhar Trophy. The most successful teams in this phase were Bombay/Mumbai (8 titles) and Bengal (6 titles).


[[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Tamil Nadu]] is the most successful team having won the trophy five times. [[Saurashtra cricket team]] are the current champions, who won [[2022-23 Vijay Hazare Trophy|last edition]] by defeating [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]] in the final.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/vijay-hazare-trophy-final-aditya-tare-century-prithvi-shaw-heroics-help-mumbai-win-their-4th-title-1779204-2021-03-14 |title=Vijay Hazare Trophy final: Aditya Tare century, Prithvi Shaw heroics help Mumbai win their 4th title |work=India Today |access-date=14 March 2021}}</ref>
It became a national competition in 2002–03, with a knockout stage crowning a national champion every year. The most successful teams since then have been [[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Tamil Nadu]] and [[Karnataka cricket team|Karnataka]] (5 titles each). For the [[2007–08 Vijay Hazare Trophy|2007-08 edition]], it was renamed in honour of [[Vijay Hazare]].<ref>[https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/ranji-one-day-trophy-2006-07-263051 Ranji One Day Trophy, 2007].

In January 2021, the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI) announced that the tournament would take place despite the [[2020–21 Ranji Trophy]] being cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in India]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/no-ranji-trophy-in-2020-21-but-bcci-to-hold-domestic-50-over-competitions-for-men-women-u-19-boys-1249623 |title=No Ranji Trophy in 2020-21, but BCCI to hold domestic 50-over games for men, women, and U-19 boys |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=30 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/bcci-to-hold-hazare-trophy-as-per-state-units-wijsh-no-ranji-trophy-for-first-time-in-87-years/article33701912.ece |title=No Ranji Trophy for first time in 87 years |work=The Hindu |access-date=30 January 2021}}</ref>
==Format==
The format of the national-level tournament has changed several times.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Originally posted on CricketGully |date=2025-12-23 |title=Vijay Hazare Trophy: History, Format, Winners & Records |url=https://www.yardbarker.com/cricket/articles/vijay_hazare_trophy_history_format_winners_records/s1_17726_43244256 |access-date=2025-12-31 |website=Yardbarker |language=en}}</ref> During the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons, a final [[round-robin tournament|round-robin]] stage was held for the top teams in each zone. Since the 2004–05 tournament, a [[playoff format]] including semi-finals and a final has been held, with varying qualification mechanisms. Teams are currently grouped on the basis of average points gained in the preceding three seasons.<sup>[''[[Wikipedia:Citation needed|citation needed]]'']</sup>


==Format==
Between the 2015–16 and 2017–18 seasons, the tournament consisted of 28 teams divided into four groups. For the [[2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy|2018/19 edition]], the teams were divided into three elite groups and one plate group. Two of the elite groups had nine teams while the third had ten. The plate group consisted of nine new teams.


Until the 2014–15 season, 28 teams are split into 5 zonal groups as follows:
The current format consists of 38 teams divided into 4 elite groups and 1 plate group. The elite groups have 8 teams while the plate group has 6. After playing each team in the group once, the five winners and the best performing runner-up qualify for the quarter final stage directly, while the four other runners-up play in the preliminary quarter finals. The two winners of pre-quarter finals join the remaining six teams in the quarter final stage.

The Vijay Hazare Trophy is a cricket tournament played in India. It is administered by the Board of Control for Cricket in India and is contested by state and city teams in a league and playoff format. Along with the inter-zonal Deodhar Trophy, it forms the top level of List A cricket in the country, and is an important feeder tournament for selection in the Indian National Cricket Team. Matches consist of 50 overs per side, similar to One Day International matches. It was initially a zonal tournament, and became a national tournament in 2002. Vidarbha are the defending champions, after having won the 2025-26 edition.

History[edit | edit source]

The Vijay Hazare trophy began in the 1993–94 season as the Ranji One Day Trophy, a List A counterpart to the First-Class Ranji Trophy. In its early years, it was played at the zonal level. North, South, East, West, and Central Zones each produced their own winner, and success in this tournament was used to determine selection for zonal teams in the Deodhar Trophy. The most successful teams in this phase were Bombay/Mumbai (8 titles) and Bengal (6 titles).

It became a national competition in 2002–03, with a knockout stage crowning a national champion every year. The most successful teams since then have been Tamil Nadu and Karnataka (5 titles each). For the 2007-08 edition, it was renamed in honour of Vijay Hazare.[1][2] Domestic cricket in India was suspended for several months because of the COVID-19 pandemic in India, leading to the cancellation of the 2020–21 Ranji Trophy. However, the BCCI announced that the 2020/21 edition of the Vijay Hazare tournament would take place.[3][4]

Format[edit | edit source]

The format of the national-level tournament has changed several times.[5] During the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons, a final round-robin stage was held for the top teams in each zone. Since the 2004–05 tournament, a playoff format including semi-finals and a final has been held, with varying qualification mechanisms. Teams are currently grouped on the basis of average points gained in the preceding three seasons.[citation needed]

Between the 2015–16 and 2017–18 seasons, the tournament consisted of 28 teams divided into four groups. For the 2018/19 edition, the teams were divided into three elite groups and one plate group. Two of the elite groups had nine teams while the third had ten. The plate group consisted of nine new teams.

The current format consists of 38 teams divided into 4 elite groups and 1 plate group. The elite groups have 8 teams while the plate group has 6. After playing each team in the group once, the five winners and the best performing runner-up qualify for the quarter final stage directly, while the four other runners-up play in the preliminary quarter finals. The two winners of pre-quarter finals join the remaining six teams in the quarter final stage.
