The 2010 Caribbean Twenty20 season was the debut season of the Caribbean Twenty20, established by the West Indies Cricket Board in 2010. The season was held in Barbados and Trinidad between 22 and 31 July 2010. It featured all seven West Indies first-class cricket domestic teams and one overseas team – Canada.[1]
The competition started with a group stage, in which the teams are divided into two groups of four. Each group competed in a round robin and those matches were followed by two semi-finals, a third-place playoff and a final.[2] The top domestic team from the tournament will qualify for the 2010 Champions League Twenty20.
Guyana won the tournament, defeating Barbados in the final by one wicket with one ball remaining. Trinidad and Tobago came third and Jamaica came fourth.[3] The tournament was greatly affected by the weather conditions at the venues. Out of the eight games played in Trinidad, three matches were abandoned and three matches – including a semi-final and the third-place playoff – were shortened due to heavy rain.[4]
