The 2021 Royal London One-Day Cup tournament was a limited overs cricket competition that formed part of the 2021 English cricket season in England and Wales. [1] Matches were contested over 50 overs per side, having List A cricket status, with all eighteen first-class counties competing in the tournament. [2] The tournament started on 22 July 2021, with the final taking place on 19 August 2021 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. [3] Somerset were the defending champions winning the 2019 tournament, [4] with no tournament taking place in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5]
In August 2021, the Group A match between Middlesex and Gloucestershire was cancelled due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Gloucestershire team. [6] Therefore, the group was decided on an average points per game basis. [7]
On the final day of group stage matches, Durham and Glamorgan qualified to the semi-finals, after finishing at top of their respective groups. [8] Gloucestershire, Essex from group A, [9] [10] and Surrey, Yorkshire from group B, [11] all qualified to the quarter-finals. [12] In the first quarter-final, Essex beat Yorkshire by 129 runs to advance. [13] The second quarter-final saw Surrey beat Gloucestershire by five wickets to also advance. [14] Glamorgan beat Essex by five wickets in the first semi-final to progress to the final of the tournament. [15] They were joined in the final by Durham, who beat Surrey by five wickets in the second semi-final match. [16] Glamorgan won the tournament, beating Durham by 58 runs in the final. [17]
Each county played eight group stage matches – four at home and four away, with the top three counties in each group progressing to the knockout stages. [3]
The teams were placed into the following groups: [3]
