The ACC Men’s Asia Cup, commonly known as the Asia Cup, is an international cricket tournament for men, officially organised by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). It features teams from various Asian countries competing in both the One Day International (ODI) format, consisting of 50 overs per side, and the Twenty20 International (T20) format, with each team playing 20 overs.
Established in 1983 concurrently with the founding of the Asian Cricket Council, the Asia Cup serves as a platform to foster goodwill among Asian nations. Originally intended to occur biennially, the tournament has become the premier continental championship in cricket. The victorious team in the Asia Cup claims the esteemed title of the champion of Asia. The competition follows a cyclical pattern, switching between ODI and T20 formats every two years.
As of the most recent edition in 2023, India holds the current championship title, having emerged as the winners in the tournament.
