The 2020 Luxembourg T20I Trophy was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that was played in Luxembourg from 28 to 30 August 2020.[1][2] The participating teams were the hosts Luxembourg, along with Belgium and Czech Republic.[3] The matches were played at the Pierre Werner Cricket Ground in Walferdange.[3] These were the first official T20I matches to be played in Luxembourg since the International Cricket Council announced that all matches played between Associate Members from 1 January 2019 would be eligible for T20I status.[4][5] The series was organised to provide players with some international cricket after the postponement of the 2019 T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier.[6] Belgium won the series with a game to spare, ending with a perfect record of four victories.[7][8]
