The President’s Cup is the national domestic List A cricket competition in Pakistan.[1] It is organized by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that forms part of the Pakistan domestic cricket season.[2][3] It consists of teams representing the government and semi-government departments, corporations, commercial organisations, business houses, banks, airlines, and educational institutions.[4]

For the 2023–24 domestic season, a new List-A competition, called the President’s Cup (50-over), was created for departments.[5][6]
