Cricket Australia operates the Australian cricket team, organising Test tours and one-day internationals with other nations. It also organises domestic cricket in Australia, including the Pura Cup first-class competition and the Ford Ranger One Day Cup domestic one-day competition. The organisation's revenue was AUD72 million in the year ended 30 June 2005 (AUD 83.8 million to 30 June 2004; this decrease reflects the fact that income streams vary greatly over a four year cycle depending on which teams/competitions Australia plays, rather than long term decline).
