The Imparja Cup is an Australian cricket tournament based in Alice Springs, Northern Territory. The tournament is contested annually by teams of Indigenous Australian cricketers.
History
The tournament has its origins in an annual match started in 1994 between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek by Shane and Mervyn Franey from Alice Springs and Ross Williams from Tennant Creek.[1] By 1998 Northern Territory Cricket had become involved in organising the tournament and in 2001 Cricket Australia turned the tournament into a national competition.[2][3][4] Imparja Television have been involved in the annual match and the national tournament since 1994.[1][5]
Format
In its current format there are five divisions. The State/Territory Men's Division is played as a One Day and Twenty20 round-robin tournament with the two top teams playing off in a One Day limited overs final.
The Women's State/Territory Division is played as a Twenty20 round-robin tournament with the top two teams playing off in a Twenty20 final.
Teams in the Major Centres Division play Twenty20 cricket whilst the Community Men's Division and Community Women's Division both play a shorter, 14-over format in Super 8s. .[1][2][6]
