The 2001 British Isles Championship is a cricket tournament that took place in 2001 in England. This was the last of the nine tournaments initiated to help in the development of cricket in British Isles. This tournament was later replaced with European Cricket Championship. The tournament marked the comeback of England Cricket Board XI who won it after the previous tournament when they came last. Scotland came second. The busy schedule for Scotland and Ireland who now were ICC members meant that having future tournaments was not possible. ECB initiated the process where these teams could play in the county championship besides the ICC-Europe tournaments.
