Own the Region.
Build the Future.
Breybourne is building a connected national structure for American Cricket — one system that links professional competition, domestic performance, school and college participation, academy development, community growth, and long-term market identity.
Regional Franchise Owners sit at the center of that expansion. This is not a one-team opportunity. It is a long-term regional sports platform designed for qualified ownership groups that want to build presence, participation, infrastructure, and competitive relevance inside a major national system.
What Regional Franchise Ownership Means
A Regional Franchise is a long-term sports platform inside one nationally aligned structure.
A serious market position
Regional Franchise Ownership is designed for groups that want to lead the game in a defined market, build enduring local identity, and participate in a structured national platform with professional, domestic, educational, and developmental depth.
- 16-year regional franchise position
- Defined territorial platform inside the national structure
- Right to field up to 9 designated teams
- Right to bid on a National League club
- Approved sublease flexibility with Breybourne approval
- Participation in centralized and regional economic components
Why ownership groups engage
Because this opportunity combines market leadership, competition participation, development depth, stadium growth potential, and long-term platform relevance inside one of the most ambitious American Cricket builds in the country.
Up to 9 Designated Franchise Teams
The Regional Franchise platform is multi-team by design, creating breadth across men’s, women’s, and U19 pathways.
Men’s
- Men’s T20 — mandatory
- Men’s First-Class
- Men’s One-Day
Women’s
- Women’s T20 — mandatory
- Women’s One-Day
U19
- U19 Boys T20
- U19 Boys One-Day
- U19 Girls T20
- U19 Girls One-Day
Mandatory Baselines and Structured Expansion
The Regional Franchise platform is built around clear competitive baselines and disciplined multi-format growth.
Mandatory baseline formats
Men’s T20 and Women’s T20 are the mandatory baseline formats of the structure. Men’s T20 is required across the regional system. Women’s T20 is also mandatory, with the platform designed to begin initially with 8 teams nationally.
- Men’s T20 — mandatory baseline across the structure
- Women’s T20 — mandatory baseline at the system level
- T20 serves as the common competitive language across the platform
Division-based women’s launch model
Women’s T20 may begin with 8 teams nationally, with each division responsible for fielding 1 team. The 4 regional franchise groups within that division may combine in fielding 1 shared divisional women’s team.
- 1 women’s team per division at launch
- 4 regional groups in the division may combine
- Shared early-stage execution designed to support credible rollout
- Scalable framework for future expansion
Broader format expansion
Beyond Men’s T20 and Women’s T20, each division is expected to ensure representation across the remaining designated formats over time, either through direct fielding or approved franchise collaboration within the division.
Bid Rights for a National League Club
The Regional Franchise platform includes direct access to the flagship upside layer of the structure.
National League opportunity
Regional Franchise Ownership includes the right to bid on a National League club inside the broader national structure. The flagship pro league is intended to include 8 cities, with one anchor city selected from each division.
Why it matters
This creates a clear line from regional market leadership to the highest visible professional layer of the Breybourne system, giving strong ownership groups a credible pathway into the premium stage of American Cricket.
Stadium Growth Across the Division
Breybourne is not only building competitions. It is helping shape the physical map of the game.
Anchor city stadium pathway
Within each division, one city is intended to be designated as the anchor city for the National League pathway. That anchor city is expected to develop a high-capacity spectator stadium aligned with premium event presentation and flagship competition staging.
- 1 anchor city per division
- High-capacity spectator stadium pathway
- National League and premium event alignment
- Long-term division-level infrastructure leadership
Regional stadium support beyond the anchor city
The remaining regions within the division are expected to develop lower-capacity spectator stadiums and match-ready facilities, creating a broader hosting ecosystem across the division. Breybourne works with franchise groups in guiding infrastructure development, standards alignment, and long-term facility planning in each region.
- Lower-capacity spectator stadiums in non-anchor regions
- Regional facility growth designed to support league depth
- Breybourne support on infrastructure vision and structure
- A physical map that matches the competition map
Centralized and Regional Economic Components
The platform is designed to align regional execution with national value creation.
Shared value structure
The system includes both centralized and regional economic components, including revenue-sharing mechanisms tied to the broader competition structure, national properties, and regional execution layers.
What is shared later
Detailed commercial terms, revenue-sharing structure, financial allocations, and legal documentation are shared later in the process with qualified groups under confidentiality.
Local Leagues, Academies, and Education
The Regional Franchise is not limited to competition. It is designed to grow the game inside the territory.
Local Leagues
Grow structured local leagues and broaden competitive participation throughout the region.
Academies
Build academy pathways, age-group development, and long-term player progression.
Education Initiatives
Support school, college, and education-linked cricket growth as part of the region’s long-term development strategy.
Two National Platforms. Four Development Platforms.
The Regional Franchise platform works because it sits inside a coherent competition and pathway structure.
The national layer
National League and National Championship define the top competitive layer of the structure, representing the professional and domestic national game.
The development layer
College Cup, School Shield, Academy League, and Community League complete the development layer beneath the national platforms, broadening access, growth, and participation.
