The Prime Minister Cup Men's National Cricket Tournament (Nepali: प्रधानमन्त्री कप पुरुष राष्ट्रिय क्रिकेट प्रतियोगिता) is a domestic cricket tournament in Nepal organised by the Cricket Association of Nepal. It was formerly administered by the National Sports Council while CAN was suspended. It was played amongst 8 teams in 2017 and has been played amongst 10 teams from 2018 onward.

The teams represent the seven provinces of Nepal, and three departmental teams. The current champions are Nepal Police Club.

History

The National Sports Council organised the Prime Minister Cup in 2017 due to the suspension of the Cricket Association of Nepal by the International Cricket Council. A domestic one-day cricket tournament had not been held in the country for three years due to conflicts within the board which eventually led to its suspension. It replaced the National League Cricket as the premier domestic cricket tournament in Nepal.

Competition format

The inaugural edition had eight teams, five regional teams and three departmental teams, competing in two round-robin groups with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals. All matches were played in the one-day format. The following season the five regional teams were replaced by teams representing the seven provinces, taking the number of teams to ten.

The format was changed for the 2024 season, with the ten teams competing in a round-robin format and the top two teams qualifying for the final. The top four teams also qualify for the multi-day Men's Elite Trophy.
