The South American Cricket Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Sudamericano de Críquet; Portuguese: Campeonato Sul-Americano de Críquete) is an international limited-overs cricket tournament featuring national teams from South America and other invited national sides from outside South America, currently played annually but until 2013 was usually played every two years. The first men's event was held in 1995 and a women's tournament started in 2007.
The Argentine national team won the first three championships without losing a game, and subsequently the country was represented by a development squad, Argentina A, between 2000 and 2018."South American Championships: Argentina gambles and wins at successful tournament" – ESPNcricinfo. Retrieved 16 July 2015. Guyana, the only Test-playing country in South America (as part of the West Indies cricket team), had sent a team four times, winning twice, but this has generally been a "masters" team consisting of past players. Colombia were going to send a team to the 2000 tournament, but in fact did not debut until 2015. The non-South American teams invited to the tournament have been Panama (in 2000), Puerto Rico (in 2004), Costa Rica (in 2018) and Mexico (since 2014). The thirteenth edition of the tournament was held in Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, in October 2016."Rio’s Carioca Cricket Club Launches 2016 Season", The Rio Times, 3 February 2016. Retrieved 2 September 2016. Chile won the men's tournament and Brazil won the women's tournament.South American Championships, CricHQ. Retrieved 3 November 2016. The 2018 Championships were awarded to Colombia for the first time, and took place over 4 days in August with Mexico emerging as champions for the second time. Mexico won the men's event for the second time in 2018, and Argentina won again in 2019. Panama are the current champions, having won the 2024 edition.
Argentina also dominated the women's event by winning on seven occasions. From 2018, all women's matches between ICC member nations have the Twenty20 International (T20I) status after the ICC decided to grant T20I status to all matches involving its members from 1 January 2019. Brazil's women team won the first edition with this enhanced status. Starting from the 2019 edition, the same status would apply to the men's event. The only non-ICC playing nations in 2019 were Colombia and Uruguay.
