Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Australia–India).

Chappell–Hadlee Trophy (Australia–New Zealand ODI series).

Trans-Tasman Trophy (Australia–New Zealand Test series).

Frank Worrell Trophy (Australia–West Indies).

The Ashes (England–Australia) is the most famous perpetual trophy.

Sometimes, a perpetual trophy is awarded to the winning team. The most important series last four or five matches, while the less important ones last two to three matches. Ashes Test series in England were six-match affairs between 19, but Australia reverted to five matches in its home series from 1982–83. Six-match series were common in the 1970s and early 1980s, with the last six-match series to date taking place in 1997–98 between the West Indies and England. Test series can last from two to six matches, but some tours consist of only a single Test. Tours may include Test, ODI and T20I matches, or just one or two of these formats.

In a tour, one nation travels to another and plays warm-up matches, which may be first-class matches, against domestic teams such as county or state teams, a series of Test matches against the host nation, and either a series of One-Day (ODi) and T20 matches against the host nation or a tournament involving the host nation and another touring nation. Most Test, One-Day and Twenty20 matches take place in the form of 'tours'. Main page: Category:International cricket tours Outline
