South American Men's Championships 2025/26

The South American Men's Cricket Championship (Campeonato Sudamericano de Críquet) is the premier continental tournament for cricket in the region. Held under the auspices of ICC Americas, the regional body of the International Cricket Council (ICC), it represents a distinct entity from the wider ICC Americas Championship that encompasses North American and Caribbean sides. The event operates as a standalone regional title focused on development and local competition rather than global qualification pathways.

The competition currently follows a Twenty20 (T20) format, with matches holding T20I status for participating nations. Unlike structures involving club promotion and relegation, this championship features national teams competing for regional pride. The 2026 edition expanded to include six nations: Colombia, Brazil, Panama, Peru, Mexico, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Argentina remains the most successful team in history, having secured twelve titles since the tournament began in 1995 in Buenos Aires. This dominance included winning the first four editions and twelve of the first twenty-one tournaments.

Recent results indicate a shift in the competitive landscape. Mexico claimed victory in 2025, while Brazil won its first men's title in 2026 by defeating Panama in the final. Panama had previously won the championship in 2024. The tournament also invites teams from outside South America, such as Panama and Mexico, alongside Guyana which competes as a 'Masters' side. Information regarding the championship is disseminated through ICC channels and third-party cricket news outlets rather than a dedicated official website.
