The competition includes the six first-class cricket teams in Australia, as well as formerly including the Canberra Comets and the New Zealand national cricket team. First played in the 1969–70 season, the competition has run since then under a variety of different names and sponsors.
Formerly played over 50 overs, for the 2010–11 season the competition switched to a new format featuring 45 over matches with 12 man teams, with split innings of 20 and 25 overs.
