It ran from 4 to 20 October 1997, and was the first edition to bear that name. Eight teams contested the competition – the six regular teams of West Indian domestic cricket (Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, the Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Windward Islands), plus two invited international teams from the ICC Americas region (Bermuda and Canada). All matches at the tournament were played either in Guyana or Jamaica, with the semi-finals and final played in the latter, in Discovery Bay.Red Stripe Bowl 1997/98 – CricketArchive.
