The competition has previously been known as the Gillette Cup (1963-1980) and the NatWest Trophy (1981-2000). It was the first top level one-day competition to be introduced in English cricket, amid concern about falling attendances at County Championship matches in the early 1960s. In the inugural season the matches were 65 overs per side, but this was reduced to 60 in 1964. In 1999 the number of overs was cut to 50 per side to give English cricketers more experience of playing matches the same length as one day internationals. The C&G Trophy was always the more prestigious of the two "full length" one day cup competitions in English cricket, the other being the Benson & Hedges Cup, which was abolished in 2002 and replaced with the Twenty20 Cup.
