Beginning in Antigua & Barbuda on 27 June and culminating in Nevis on 3 August, the 2025 CPL Trophy Tour is designed to sweep supporters into the tournament’s energy well before the first ball is bowled on 14 August.

Photo ops, prizes, and live beats

Each stop becomes a pop-up carnival: fans may slip an arm around the silverware for once-in-a-lifetime photographs, dive into interactive zones laden with sponsor activations, and sway to live Caribbean rhythms. Trivia contests, skill challenges, and surprise giveaways ensure that the trophy is not the only prize on offer.

Organisers have lured a constellation of cricket greats—past and present—to sign autographs and pose for selfies. Exclusive on-site promotions will allow die-hards to lock in tickets for CPL 2025 at special tour-only prices, guaranteeing the best seats when the tournament proper ignites.

“The CPL trophy symbolises the passion of our fans, and this tour is our way of bringing that excitement to every corner of the Caribbean. Whether it’s seeing the trophy up close, meeting legends, or grabbing tickets early, we want fans to feel part of the CPL magic,” declared Pete Russell, CPL Chief Executive Officer, as he unveiled the itinerary.
