Teams who enter the Gillette Cup begin by playing in term one of the school year within their region against nearby school teams. Teams who are successful through the initial regional rounds then advanced to their regional finals. The six regional winners from around the country are invited to the national finals being held in term four of the school year. The national finals consist of one-day cricket played in a round robin format.
The Gillette Cup has become synonymous with secondary school boys’ cricket and the development of players for the future.
