Beginning season 2001, Kanto Cup has been renamed to Kanto Cricket League, which is one of the many initiatives the JCA has taken to streamline the competition structure in Japan. KCL is based on a two division league where the top two teams of the D-II will be promoted to D-I while the bottom two of D-I will be demoted to D-II. Click on the link on the left to know more about KCL.
Note: The KCL went through vertical split in 2006 and saw some teams moving away. Thus, in 2006 the following teams regrouped and started the tournament afresh. The results of this year will be used to form a 2-division structure in 2007.
The tournament lasts the whole season as the matches are played only on the weekends. The cricket season in Japan is from April to November.
