The American Twenty20 Championship (often referred to as the USACA Twenty20 Championship) is a American Twenty20 cricket tournament aimed at grooming American cricket players for international events and to spread interest in American Cricket. Its first season was only a 3-day affair as the tournament was played in New Jersey[1] and was eventually won by the Atlantic Division. The tournament is supported by the United States of America Cricket Association, the national federation of cricket in the USA.
