In the West Indies, one major domestic competition is run. This is contested between 6 West Indian entities. These are Barbados, the Windward Islands, Guyana, the Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica.

This competition is a one 50 over innings per side affair with each bowler restricted to a maximum of 10 overs. Each team plays the others once in a league format with the top 4 teams after 5 games going through to contest semi finals.

This year, Barbados won the league format but were defeated by Trinidad in the semis. Guyana went on to beat the Windward Islands in the other semi, but were defeated by Trinidad in the final thanks to an undefeated partnership of 78 runs for the seventh wicket.

A cup competition is also run called the Carib Beer Cup (or whatever the current sponsor is). This was won in March 2004 by Barbados who were victorious against Jamaica in the final. The cup competition is a 4 innings, unrestricted overs competition with matches similar to an English County Championship match.
