The K.A. Auty Cup Trophy is an international cricket series played between Canada and the United States, founded in 1963. It is a revival of a series that took place between 1844 and 1912, which was cricket's earliest international series.
The Auty Cup has been played intermittently since 1963. It is hosted alternately by Cricket Canada and USA Cricket, previously the USACA. No matches were held between 1995 and 2011, and the series was last held in 2017.
The Auty Cup trophy is named after the engineer, writer and cricketer Karl Andre Auty, who was born in Dewsbury, England in 1881 and died in Chicago, Illinois in 1959, "who for many years had been a driving force in American cricket, mainly around the Chicago area".
Traditionally held as a single two-day match, the series between 2012 and 2017 included 50-over and Twenty20 matches.
