The '''Ford Ranger One Day Cup''' is the most recent name of the domestic [[List A cricket]] ([[One-day cricket|One-day/limited overs cricket]]) competition in [[Australia]].
The competition commenced in 1969-70 with a knock-out format featuring the [[List of current first-class cricket teams#Australia|Australian state teams]] and [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]]. Known as the '''Vehicle & General Australasian Knock-out Competition''' for two seasons, a sponsorship change meant that it went by the name of '''[[Coca-Cola]] Australasian Knock-out Competition''' in 1971-72 and 1972-73. In 1973-74, it was renamed the '''[[Global Gillette|Gillette]] Cup'''. The competition became a purely Australian affair after New Zealand's last season in 1974-75.
The format was changed in 1979-80, when the new '''[[McDonald's]] Cup''' featured a two pool system. The same format was used by the '''FAI Cup''' from 1988-89 to 1991-92. From 1992-93, the '''Mercantile Mutual Cup''' involved a full [[round robin]] before the semifinals, and in 1997-98, the [[Canberra Comets]] were included. Only lasting three seasons, the Comets were axed in 2000-01, when the round robin structure was expanded to include home and away meetings for all teams before a single final. The name '''[[ING Group|ING]] Cup''' was first used in the next season, following Mercantile Mutual's rebranding, and was used up to and including 2005–06, when ING withdrew as sponsor and [[Ford]] bought the naming rights.<ref>{{cite news |title= Extra Twenty20 games next season|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/cricket/extra-twenty20-games-next-season/2007/05/29/1180205237004.html |publisher= [[Sydney Morning Herald]]|date=[[29 May]] [[2007]] |accessdate=2007-05-29}}</ref> After several months delay, the naming rights for the 2007/08 Season for the One Day Domestic Competition remained as The [[Ford Ranger]] Cup, following on from the 2006/07 Season.
