The Texaco Trophy was the name used for One Day International cricket tournaments held in England from 1984 until 1998. The series were sponsored by Texaco. Depending on the number of teams touring England in a given season, there would typically be either one or two series each year, involving England and each visiting side. The series usually consisted of three matches, but varied in length between one and five matches.
