Canadian cricket reached its competitive peak in the 1860s, with the Halifax Cup — contested between clubs from across the country — establishing an inter-city rivalry that gave the game a competitive framework unique in North American sport. Touring English sides found Canadian cricketers surprisingly strong; the 1859 George Parr tour had underscored this, and through the 1860s the standard continued to rise.
