About the Cricket Rivalry, The Ashes

Ends: Jan 08, 2026
DESCRIPTION:
The Ashes is a cricket competition every two years between England and Australia and is one of the most celebrated rivalries in international cricket. The name "Ashes" began during an 1882 match at the Oval when Australia beat England on English soil (scandalous!) for the first time. A British newspaper, The Sporting Times, published a satirical obituary lamenting the death of English cricket, noting, "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia."
Two years later, England visited Australia, with team captain Ivo Bligh vowing to return with "the ashes" of English cricket. England won two out of three matches, prompting a group of Melbourne women to present Bligh with a small urn, rumored to contain the ashes of a burnt cricket ball, and the mythical "Ashes" trophy was born. Each year a replica of that urn is presented as the trophy (though the original has remained at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London, regardless of who wins the series).
The Ashes consist of five or more test matches in venues alternating between England and Australia. Each game occurs over five days, with six hours of play daily. Each team gets two innings (turns at bat), and the team with the most total runs at the end of the match is declared the winner. The match is declared a draw if no clear winner emerges at the end of five days.
PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
