FORD RANGER ONE DAY CUP

(Redirected from ING Cup)

The 'Ford Ranger One Day Cup' is the most recent name of the domestic List A cricket (One-day/limited overs cricket) competition in Australia.
The competition commenced in 1969-70 with a knock-out format featuring the Australian state teams and New Zealand. Known as the 'Vehicle & General Australasian Knock-out Competition' for two seasons, a sponsorship change meant that it went by the name of 'Coca-Cola Australasian Knock-out Competition' in 1971-72 and 1972-73. In 1973-74, it was renamed the 'Gillette Cup'. The competition became a purely Australian affair after New Zealand's last season in 1974-75.
The format was changed in 1979-80, when the new 'McDonald's Cup' featured a two pool system. The same format was used by the 'FAI Cup' from 1988-89 to 1991-92. From 1992-93, the 'Mercantile Mutual Cup' involved a full round robin before the semifinals, and in 1997-98, the Canberra Comets were included. Only lasting three seasons, the Comets were axed in 2000-01, when the round robin structure was expanded to include home and away meetings for all teams before a single final. The name 'ING Cup' was first used in the next season, following Mercantile Mutual's rebranding, and was used up to and including 2005–06, when ING withdrew as sponsor and Ford bought the naming rights. However, Ford ended their sponsorship after only one season, and as of May 2007, the competition is without a name for the 2007-08 season.^[1]
