Origins

A tournament between Barbados, British Guiana and Trinidad took place in 1891. Each team played the other and then there was a final between the leading two teams. During this tournament a suggestion was made by Hon. Aucher Warner

Aucher Warner

Robert Stewart Aucher Warner was a West Indian cricketer. He was known as Aucher Warner...

 that there should be a regular series of matches between the three colonies to be played alternately at each colony. By the time of the next tournament in 1893 a cup had been subscribed for but British Guiana were unable to take part, Barbados being winners again. This 1893 match is regarded as the first proper tournament.

Barbados, as winner of the 1893 tournament were an automatic finalist for the 1895 tournament, the other two teams playing to decide who would play them. The same procedure was used in the subsequent tournaments.

Because of the distances involved and travelling costs Jamaica never took part in the Inter-Colonial Tournament.
