This is a list of current first-class cricket teams, organised first by country and then alphabetically. A first class match is one of three or more days' scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each and is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each.
Where a team plays at more than one home ground, only their main ground is listed here.
Notes: 1 Rest of India (in the Irani Trophy), India A, and various President's XIs are also adjudged first-class. 2 Makeshift zonal teams are also made and guest teams like England lions also play.
