As a sportsperson, you are deeply inspired by the grandeur of where you play – and for our players, men and women alike, there couldn’t be a better venue to start this journey. Vancouver is a city that thrives on nature, diversity, and culture – and cricket on the West Coast is going to ignite a whole new fan base.”
The Canada Super 60 is the first global-format cricket league to feature both men’s and women’s 10-over-a-side tournaments from inception, aiming to redefine competitive cricket in Canada and create a blueprint for the sport’s growth in North America.

Hosting the Canada Super 60 is a tremendous opportunity to showcase the world’s second most-watched sport right here in our beautiful city.
