The ACC Men's Premier Cup, previously the ACC Premier League, is the limited-overs international cricket tournament run by the Asian Cricket Council and contested in a league system by the associate members of ACC. It crowns the best associate team in Asia and acts as the final qualification pathway towards the Asia Cup. It evolved from the former ACC Trophy Elite cricket competition,[1] played under three divisions. The first tournament was held in Malaysia in May 2014. Currently, It's the top tier tournament for associate teams in Asia.
History
The first tournament was held in Malaysia between 1–7 May 2014. Afghanistan won the tournament. The top four teams, Afghanistan, UAE, Nepal and Oman qualified for the 2014 ACC Championship. After the first edition of Premier and Elite tournament in 2014, the ACC reformed the tournament structure into a regional, rather than divisional basis.
In 2023, ACC resurrected the tournament and divided the associate members in a two-tier league system. ACC Men's Premier Cup is the top tier tournament while ACC Men's Challenger Cup being the bottom tier.
