Celebrating Cricket, Community and Cultural Diversity

The Aspida Guernsey Cricket Nations Cup was established in 2026 to celebrate the rich diversity of nationalities and cultures that make up Guernsey’s cricketing community.

More than simply a cricket competition, the Nations Cup brings together players from different
backgrounds, united by their shared passion for the game. Through an exciting T10 format, the
tournament promotes friendship, inclusivity, community spirit and healthy competition, providing a fitting celebration of the Island’s multicultural cricketing community.

Memorial Field.
