Eastern Europe Cup 2025/26

The Eastern Europe Cup is a senior men’s cricket tournament organized under the auspices of ICC Europe. It features national teams from Croatia, Hungary, and Serbia. This competition is distinct from the Central Europe Cup, which focuses on nations such as the Czech Republic and Austria, and the Continental Cup, the premier European-wide T20I championship. The 2025 edition was the inaugural tournament. It was held in Szolnok, Hungary, at the GB Oval from August 29 to August 31, 2025. The format was a double round-robin group stage where each of the three participating teams played each other twice. This was followed by a final between the top two teams. All matches were Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). Hungary won the inaugural title by defeating Serbia by 34 runs in the final. Serbia defeated Croatia in the group stages, and Hungary also defeated Croatia. The tournament serves as a development platform for emerging European cricket nations. It contributes to ICC T20I rankings and qualification pathways. However, it is not a direct World Cup qualifier in the same manner as the Continental Cup. The participating nations' governing bodies are the Croatian Cricket Federation, the Hungarian Cricket Association, and the Serbian Cricket Federation.
