The Z. R. Irani Cup, also known as the Irani Trophy,, is an annual first-class cricket match organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and contested each season by the reigning Ranji Trophy champions and a multi-state Rest of India team (ROI) composed of players from the other state teams. The inaugural edition was played in March 1960 as a special event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Ranji Trophy. It was intended to be a one-off match but, in 1962, BCCI decided to institute it as annual fixture and it has been played in most seasons since 1962–63. BCCI named the Irani Trophy after Zal R. Irani, their long-serving president and treasurer, who was a significant figure in the organisation from its inception in 1928, till his death in 1970.
