# 2024–25 Ranji Trophy

The 2024–25 Ranji Trophy also known as the IDFC First Bank Ranji Trophy for sponsorship reasons, was the 90th season of the Ranji Trophy taking place from 11 October to 26 February 2025. Mumbai were the defending champions.

## Format

The teams are divided into two categories, one named Elite category which has 32 teams split into four groups, and one named Plate category having 6 teams in one group. The Elite category teams play each other once, with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals. In the Plate Group teams also play each other once, but the top four teams qualify for the plate group knockouts, with the bottom two teams playing for the fifth and sixth positions, and another playoff for the third and fourth positions with the semi-final losers. The two Plate finalists are promoted to the Elite group for the next season, 2025–26, while the bottom two teams of all the four Elite groups combined - factoring in both points and the quotient will be relegated to Plate group.
