The Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament is the main domestic limited overs cricket competition in Sri Lanka. It was established in 2020–21 and has existed under four different names, replacing the Premier Limited Overs Tournament, after Sri Lanka Cricket failed to approve the latter due to delays in their domestic cricket structure.[1][2][3][4]

Participating teams and format

[edit]

The competition begins with a round-robin tournament featuring two groups of 9. The groups were organised geographically with a Group A and a Group B until 2021, since when the groups have decided by a draw.

As of 2023, the top two teams in each group progress to the knock-out stage of the competition.
