To best deliver its development programme the International Cricket Council (ICC) has created five distinct regions across the globe; Asia, the Americas, Africa, Europe and East Asia-Pacific. The East Asia-Pacific region (EAP) comprises four Associate Members,Japan, Fiji, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea, and six Affiliate Members who are the Cook Islands, Indonesia, Philippines, Samoa, South Korea &Tonga.

ICC East Asia-Pacific organise a number of different regional tournaments over a two year period including senior men's, senior women's, under 19s and under 17s. All events except the under 17s are qualifying events towards relevant world cups

Every year two groups of players from the EAP region are invited to attend Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence in Brisbane. The groupsare an Emerging Players Squad and a High Performance Squad who each utilise a week of state of the art facilities and high quality coaching.

The Region also provides an EAP team to compete against the best Country cricketers from each Australian State in the Australian Country Cricket Championships (ACCC). The team is selected after the EAP Squad Camp. EAP has been competing in the ACCC since 2004. An EAP Umpire is also selected each year to represent the region at the event.

To assist each of the countries in the EAP region with Coach/Umpire Education and High Performance State/Province Partnerships have been formed with Australian and New Zealand state and provincial cricket associations. They have been running since 2002. Representatives from the States and Provinces travel to countries for 1-2 weeks a couple of times each year to assist with coaching and developing new participation strategies

Every year the EAP office coordinates a Used Cricket Equipment Drive as part of the Boxing Day Test. In conjunction with Melbourne based charity Cricket4Kids, Cricket Victoria and the Melbourne Cricket Club the EAP set up a cage at the MCG to collect equipment which is then sent out to each of the countries.
