List of Asia Cup centuries

Sanath Jayasuriya has scored more centuries than any other player in the tournament.

In cricket, a player is said to have scored a century when he scores 100 or more runs in a single innings. ^[1] The Asia Cup is a either One Day International format (50 overs) and Twenty20 International cricket format (20 overs) tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council, ^[2] a subordinate of the International Cricket Council (ICC). ^[3] Originally started as a biennial tournament in 1984, it has since been organised 16 times as of the latest edition in 2023. ^{[lower-alpha 1] [lower-alpha 2]} Since its inception, a total of 60 centuries have been scored by 39 players from four different teams—Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka. ^{[5] [lower-alpha 2]} India have scored the most centuries with 20. ^{[6] [lower-alpha 2]}
