About US Open Cricket

The US Open has been in existence since 2009 under the umbrella of Cricket Council USA (CCUSA) and has made a great impact on the cricketing landscape in North America. Since 2009 a total of over 300 teams have participated in the annual tournament. Teams have come from all over the United States, the West Indies, Canada, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates and even Afghanistan. During this period a total of over 4,000 players have plied their trade with us and a number of them have gone on to represent their national teams in international cricket. A galaxy of stars have graced this tournament with their presences and added to this cricket legends have come across to add glitter to the event. The tournament started with 40 teams playing each year and over a weekend around 100 matches were played. This has been unheard of in the cricketing circles but such was the ambition of CCUSA to spread the game. Over the last two years, the tournament has received the blessings of the ICC which has been a tremendous boost. It has given us the opportunity to invite current international players, with the knowledge that once they get their ‘no objection certificates’ from their respective boards, they can feel free to come and play.
