Friends Provident Trophy Tickets

The Friends Provident Trophy stands as a storied chapter in English one-day cricket history. Originating in 1963 as the Gillette Cup, the competition evolved through several names—NatWest Trophy (1981–2000), C&G Trophy (2000–2006), and finally Friends Provident Trophy (2007–2009)—before being replaced by newer formats. This page profiles the performer as a symbol of the era: a symbol of the 50-over, List A game that captivated fans with strategic pacing, dramatic finishes, and a knockout style culminating in a final at Lord's.

We’ve got you covered for historical context, notable moments, and a sense of the era’s cricket culture across England and Wales. While 2025 sees no active FP Trophy events under this name, the legacy lives on in modern formats like the Royal London One-Day Cup, and through the teams and players who left their mark on this distinctive competition.
