Haier Cup Pakistan (ہائیر کپ پاکستان); often and simply known by its acronymic name (HCP) is a fictional cricket league founded by Na Maloom Afraad.
It is a List-A league - controlled and headquartered in Karachi. It currently consists of six franchises nominally representing the cities of Pakistan.
All six teams are placed in a single ladder where they play each of the other five teams twice - once at home and once away.
Top-three teams qualify for Amarnath-Kardar Trophy; only the winners earn a direct qualification to Champions League and The Super Cup.
It was operated and established by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Currently, the league is in its sixth season.
The six franchises that compete are:
