The first country to introduce a List A tournament (one day cup) was England in 1963 and Australia was quick to follow with the Australian Domestic One Day Cup which played out its first season all the way back in 1969/70. Ever since then, the tournament has been played in multiple formats and changed different names due to sponsorship reasons, but the annual event hasn’t been skipped even once.
It began as the Vehicle & General Australasian Knock-out Competition but lasted only one season under that name. Post that, many brands joined as title sponsors of the tournament including Coca-Cola, Gillette, McDonald’s, FAI, Mercantile Mutual, ING, Ford Ranger, Ryobi, Matador BBQs, and JLT. It’s now known as The Marsh One Day Cup since the 2019/20 List A season.

The tournament has a rich history of over five decades and the format has changed on multiple occasions too. Initially, the New Zealand national side used to participate in the tournament and they in fact won three of the first six Australia ODD tournaments, before they stopped participating in the tournament after the 1974/75 series.

Currently, it’s a carnival format with 7 round robin games plus the final.

The third most successful team in the Australian domestic one day cup with 10 titles and 8 runner-up finishes is Queensland, but they currently haven’t won a title since all the way back in 2013/14.
Talking about the best individual performers in the tournament, we’ve got Brad Hodge who is the highest run scorer, getting 5,597 runs in all, while James Hopes holds the record with the ball, currently having the most number of wickets in the Marsh Cup, with 155 scalps to his name. The record for the highest individual score of 257 runs is held by D’Arcy Short and we don’t see that one being beaten anytime soon.

Bevan Congdon did so in 1969/70 and 1972/73 while more recently, it was done by Jimmy Maher in the 2004/05 and 2006/07 finals.
