GUYANA is once again set to witness what has become the nation’s premier and most expansive open softball cricket competition as RS Sports officially announces that the 3rd edition of the One Guyana Inter-Region Ten10 Softball Cricket Cup.
The event will be held from 18th October to 15th November 2026, and the tournament promises to be the biggest and most competitive open softball cricket tournament ever staged in Guyana.
Over the past two years, the One Guyana Inter-Region Ten10 Softball Cricket Cup has grown from an ambitious national initiative into a powerful sporting movement that has transformed open softball cricket across Guyana. What began as a tournament has now become a platform for talent development, community engagement, regional pride, and national unity.
This year’s edition carries a deeper meaning for the tournament and nation. The 3rd One edition is dedicated to the memory of those who tragically lost their lives in the MV Barima tragedy.
Throughout the competition, moments of reflection and tribute will be observed, ensuring that the memory of the victims remains a central part of this year’s event.
The month-long tournament will bring together teams from across Guyana’s administrative regions, making it the widest-reaching softball cricket tournament ever organized in the country and creating a national platform that celebrates the competition, unity, community spirit, and the continued growth of softball cricket.
Building on the tremendous success of the first and second editions, the 2026 tournament will feature a broader regional reach, increased participation, and a stronger commitment to developing softball cricket throughout the country.
The organisers said that the competition is designed not only to crown a national champion but also to strengthen regional collaboration, encourage youth involvement, promote healthy lifestyles, and foster a greater appreciation for softball cricket across the country.
The preliminary matches will be played across the regions before the national playoff stage, allowing teams from various communities to compete on home grounds and thousands of supporters to participate in a truly nationwide cricket festival.
According to the organisers, the venue for the National Playoffs will be announced at a later date, where the top teams from the preliminary rounds will compete for the national championship honours in what is expected to be yet again another thrilling and highly competitive finale.
This year’s tournament is expected to attract the largest number of teams, players, supporters, and stakeholders since its inception, creating opportunities for emerging cricketers, experienced softball players, and communities that continue to embrace the game with passion and pride.
A major highlight of the 2026 edition is the continued inclusion of female softball cricketers, reinforcing the tournament’s commitment to gender inclusion and equal opportunity in sport.
The women’s competition has become an important part of the tournament’s identity, providing female athletes with a national platform to showcase their talent and inspire the next generation of girls to participate in cricket.
The return of female competition reflects the growing strength of women’s softball cricket in Guyana and the tournament’s vision of ensuring that cricket development benefits everyone.
Organisers have confirmed that the prize structure for 2026 will be substantially increased, with attractive cash prizes, trophies, and awards that will surpass those offered in previous years.
The increased investment in the tournament reflects the confidence that has been built through the success of the first two editions and the growing interest from players, supporters, and sponsors across Guyana.
Teams will be competing not only for regional and national glory, but also for some of the most attractive prizes ever offered in a Guyanese open softball cricket tournament.
RS Sports extends sincere gratitude to its partners, sponsors, regional coordinators, volunteers, and the many cricket enthusiasts whose continued support has contributed to the tournament’s remarkable growth. We also invite corporate Guyana, community organizations, and sports stakeholders to join us in making the 3rd edition the most successful and impactful tournament in the event’s history.
Further details regarding team registration, tournament regulations, fixtures, sponsorship opportunities, prize structure, and the National Playoffs venue will be announced in the coming weeks.
