The Stanford 20/20 Tournament was a cricket tournament in the Caribbean island of Antigua. It was held first in July and August 2006 in the West Indies at the Stanford Cricket Ground, St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda and the same place the year after. It is a variety of the popular Twenty20 format first introduced in English cricket in 2003.

The format was initially devised and made possible by Allen Stanford as a part of his (private) plan to bring West Indian cricket back to life.^[1] 19 teams took part in the inaugural knock-out tournament and 20 teams took part in the second tournament (although 21 teams were originally scheduled to take part). The 2008 season was part of the official calendar of the WICB.^[2]

Winner

In an amazing run chase against Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana emerged as the 2006 Stanford 20/20 Champions .^[4]

2008 tournament

Initially it was planned to include two additional teams from the region in the 2008 competition, Cuba and the Turks and Caicos Islands, increasing the number of teams participating to twenty-one (21).^[5] However, since the application required by US citizens (such as Stanford himself) and organisations to interact with the island under the United States embargo against Cuba has been turned down, Sint Maarten, Cuba's destined opponent in the preliminary round, received a bye.^[6]
