High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cricket was the most popular sport in Canada until the early 20th century, when it was overtaken by ice hockey. In fact, it was so popular that it was declared the national sport by John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada.[citation needed] Today, cricket is a popular minority sport in Canada, although it is growing. Cricket is the fastest growing sport in Canada, and there are well over 40,000 cricketers in the country. While Canada is not sanctioned to play Test matches, the team does take part in One Day International (ODI) matches (there are a few grounds in Canada that are sanctioned to host ODI's by the International Cricket Council or ICC) and also in first-class games (in the ICC Intercontinental Cup) against other non-Test-playing opposition, with the rivalry against the United States being as strong in cricket as it is in other team sports. The match between these two nations is in fact the oldest international fixture in cricket, having first been played in 1844. This international fixture even predates the Olympics by over 50 years.
