The current champions are Swardeston Cricket Club from Norfolk.
Format
The format of the ECB National Club Twenty20 is a straight knockout competition. The preliminary rounds are internally organised by the ECB Premier leagues and a few other minor leagues. The winners of each league participate in a further knockout competition to determine eight 'Area' winners. These areas, based geographically, are; South East Area, South West Area, South Area, East Midlands Area, West Midlands Area, North West Area, North Area and North East Area.[2] Following this, the Area winners participate in national quarter finals where the winners advance to the 'Finals Day'. Finals Day contains two semi-finals and the final on the same day at a neutral, First Class Cricket Ground. The ECB National Club Twenty20 Finals Day is traditionally held towards the end of September.[1]
