The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes is a six-a-side international cricket tournament held at the Kowloon Cricket Club and Mission Road Ground , Mong Kok comprising between eight and twelve teams. Organised by Cricket Hong Kong, it is sanctioned by the International Cricket Council. The tournament is designed for television viewing, with rules and a venue that encourage aggressive batting and high scoring. Because every player (except the wicket-keeper) is required to bowl one over, the format suits all-rounders.

All editions of the tournament have been held at the Kowloon Cricket Club except for the 1996 and 1997 editions, which were held at the Hong Kong Stadium[1][2] and the 2024 edition was held in Mission Road Ground , Mong Kok .
