The Ashes History

First contested in 1882, The Ashes was the evolution of an annual encounter between England and Australia and since that time it has developed into an international spectacle. Widely regarded as two of the leading Test cricket teams in the world, England and Australia now battle for supremacy and, of course, The Ashes Urn.

Although the name "The Ashes" wasn't used until the early 1900s, it has since become synonymous with elite-level cricket. In fact, by the time the famous urn was introduced in 1921, the two-team tournament was the talk of the sport and today millions of cricket fans watch the event.
