The K.A. Auty Cup Trophy is an international cricket series played between Canada and the United States, founded in 1963.[1] It is a revival of a series that took place between 1844 and 1912, which was cricket's earliest international series.[2][3]
The Auty Cup has been played intermittently since 1963.[3] It is hosted alternately by Cricket Canada and USA Cricket, previously the USACA.[4][5] No matches were held between 1995 and 2011,[3] and the series was last held in 2017.[6]
The Auty Cup trophy is named after the engineer, writer and cricketer Karl Andre Auty, who was born in Dewsbury, England in 1881 and died in Chicago, Illinois in 1959,[7][8] "who for many years had been a driving force in American cricket, mainly around the Chicago area".[1]
Traditionally held as a single two-day match,[9][10][11] the series between 2012 and 2017 included 50-over and Twenty20 matches.[12][13]
