The South American Cricket Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Sudamericano de Cricket) is an international limited-overs cricket tournament featuring national teams from South America and certain other invited sides, currently played annually but until 2013 usually played every two seasons.[lower-alpha 2]
Argentine teams have been the most successful at the tournament, winning on eight out of the thirteen occasions it has been held. The Argentine national team won the first three championships without losing a game, and consequently since 2000 the country has been represented by a development squad, Argentina A.[2] Chile is the only other team to feature in every edition of the championships, but has won only twice (in 2011 and 2016), despite finishing runner-up on six occasions. Peru and Brazil have each only missed one tournament, in 2002 and 2011 respectively. Guyana, the only Test-playing country in South America (as part of the West Indies cricket team), has sent a team four times, winning twice, but this has generally been a "masters" team consisting of past players.[3] The non-South American teams invited to the tournament have been Panama (in 2000), Puerto Rico (in 2004), and Mexico (since 2014). Colombia were going to send a team to the 2000 tournament, but in fact did not debut until 2015.[4]
The most recent edition of the tournament was held in Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, in October 2016.[5] Chile won the men's tournament and Brazil won the women's tournament.[6]

Notes
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 From the 2000 tournament onwards, Argentina has been represented by its "A team" (development team).
- ↑ As in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, the cricket season in South America is played during the summer months, and so seasons consist of the last few months of one year and the first few months of the next year. For instance, the inaugural South American Championship was held in December 1995, as part of the 1995–96 season.[1]
- 1 2 3 4 When Guyana, which plays Test cricket as part of the West Indies Cricket Board, has featured at the tournament, it has always been represented by an overage team, the Guyana Masters.
