The **Central Europe Cup** is an international [men's cricket](/source/Cricket) tournament played annually in [Prague](/source/Prague), [Czech Republic](/source/Czech_Republic), between invited teams from across central Europe. Organized by the [Czech Cricket Union](/source/Czech_Cricket_Union), and played at the Vinoř Cricket Ground, the tournament was first held in 2014 as a 50-over tournament and retained this format until it was changed to [Twenty20](/source/Twenty20) in 2019.[1][2]

[Poland](/source/Poland_national_cricket_team) won the inaugural event in 2014, finishing ahead of [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland_national_cricket_team) on the basis of their head-to-head record after the two teams ended the tournament level on points.[3] The Poles retained the title in 2015.[4] The 2016 tournament featured only three teams, with Poland not featuring, and was won by the hosts for the first time.[5] Poland returned in 2017 and won the tournament for a third time.[6] Switzerland claimed the title in 2018 winning all three of their matches.[7]

The [Czechs](/source/Czech_Republic_national_cricket_team) won the 2019 edition, defeating [Hungary](/source/Hungary_national_cricket_team) in the final.[8][9] The 2020 edition was scheduled to take place in September and would have been the first to have official [Twenty20 International](/source/Twenty20_International) (T20I) status since the [International Cricket Council](/source/International_Cricket_Council) granted this status to all eligible matches played between its [Members](/source/List_of_International_Cricket_Council_members) from January 2019.[10][11] The 2020 edition would also have included more teams that previous editions, with six national teams taking part – [Austria](/source/Austria_national_cricket_team), [Belgium](/source/Belgium_national_cricket_team), [Hungary](/source/Hungary_national_cricket_team), [Luxembourg](/source/Luxembourg_national_cricket_team), [Malta](/source/Malta_national_cricket_team), and the hosts Czech Republic.[1] However, the tournament was cancelled on 14 September 2020 due to a worsening of the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) in the region.[12][13]

The 2021 edition was played in [Prague](/source/Prague) between 21 and 23 May 2021.[14] The participating teams were the hosts [Czech Republic](/source/Czech_Republic_national_cricket_team), along with [Austria](/source/Austria_national_cricket_team) and [Luxembourg](/source/Luxembourg_national_cricket_team).[15] [Malta](/source/Malta_national_cricket_team) were also due to take part, but were forced to withdraw due to COVID-19 restrictions.[16] This was the seventh edition of the Central Europe Cup[17] and the first to have T20I status. Austria won the tournament for the first time.[18]
