The NAGICO Regional Super50 is the domestic one-day cricket competition in the West Indies. It was previously known as the KFC Cup until the fast food chain pulled out of sponsorship in 2008 and the WICB Cup until 2011. In recent years, it has been run over a week's time as a group stage followed by knock-out stages, unlike the sister competitions, the ING Cup in Australia and National League in England, which run as league competitions over the course of six months. Barbados are the current champions, after defeating Jamaica in the 2016-17 final, thanks to a century from Shai Hope. Trinidad and Tobago have won the most titles – 12, including one shared).

Twenty-two teams have participated in at least one edition of the competition, with Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago the only teams to have participated in every edition.

The first official senior limited overs game in the West Indies was played on 18 March 1970, between a touring Duke of Norfolk's XI and the Barbados team. Three years later, a trial knock-out tournament named the Banks Trophy—which has been given List A status—was arranged between Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados beat Guyana in the final by nine runs.
