Jersey cricket team hosted Guernsey cricket team from 17 to 18 August 2018 to contest the inaugural T20 Inter-Insular Cup, a series consisting of three Twenty20 (T20) matches.[1][2] The series took place at Farmers' Field in Saint Martin.[1] The two sides had played an Inter-Insular match annually since 1950, generally as timed or 50-over contests.[3] For the first time, the 2018 Inter-Insular was played as a three-match Twenty20 series.[4][5]

The series provided preparation for both teams ahead of the European T20 qualifying tournament for the 2019 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier; both teams named the same squad for the two events.[1][6] Despite several senior players being unavailable for selection,[6] Jersey whitewashed Guernsey to win the series 3–0.[5]

Following the International Cricket Council's decision to grant T20I status to all matches played between Associate Members after 1 January 2019, future editions of the Inter-Insular T20 Cup (starting from the 2019 edition) will have this enhanced status.[7][8] In 2019, the traditional 50-over Inter-Insular Trophy match returned in addition to the Inter-Insular T20 Cup, which would now have a separate trophy awarded.[8]
