Typically speaking, this tournament acts as a qualifier for the next edition of the Asia Cup and is played in an ODI or a T20I format depending on the format of the upcoming Asia Cup.
In 2024, the ACC Men’s Premier Cup was played as a T20I tournament for this very reason.
The tournament had 10 teams, of which eight had made it through on the basis of their rankings and two others qualified through the ACC Men’s Challenger Cup.
These 10 sides were separated into two groups of five apiece and each team played four group games. At the end of the group stage of the competition, the top two from each of them made the semifinals which was followed by the final and a match for the third place playoff.
