Argentina faces one of the most important seasons in its history. With a remarkably busy domestic programme, and further development iniatives continuing, cricket keeps on growing on many fronts. The First Division Championship is played throughout the season and decided in March. Similarly, the Robin Stuart Shield is played throughout, but this competition has a final, whereas the First Division is played purely on a league basis.
Lower divisions have seperate competitions.
Before Christmas there is the Second Division Championship, and after the Saturday Championship. New introductions this season will be a Third Division Championship, wrapped up before Christmas, and an U15 Junior League, played throughout. A brand new competition is the Dowson Cup, for Club 2nd XI's and 2nd Division Clubs, which has a final at the end of the season. In the quiet January period, the Max Challenge Cup will be played. Tours are important part of a calendar, and this is a particularly busy one.
