CPL AND WCPL MAKE SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC IMPACT ON TRINIDAD

The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) delivered a substantial economic boost to Trinidad & Tobago in 2025, generating a total impact of US$35.6 million.

Over the course of 12 thrilling matches hosted in the country, the tournaments significantly contributed to the local economy. This impact assessment was conducted by GSIQ, CPL’s official Media and Sponsor Evaluation partner, which analysed the combined effects of organiser and attendee spending, as well as the media value derived from showcasing Trinidad & Tobago as a premier travel destination across broadcast and social media platforms.

Pete Russell, CEO of CPL, expressed his delight about the tournament’s positive influence: “We are thrilled to have made such a meaningful contribution to the Trinidad & Tobago economy through the CPL and WCPL. The passion and support we received for both tournaments was incredible, and it’s clear that CPL continues to be a marquee event in the region. We eagerly anticipate returning in 2025 with the goal of further driving economic growth and delivering an unforgettable experience for fans and stakeholders alike.”
