The tournament was the third and final edition of the ICC Six Nations Challenge, and featured six associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Canada, Namibia, and the Netherlands had competed in the 2003 World Cup, while the three other teams invited were Scotland, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. The six teams played each other once in a round-robin, with five teams finishing with three wins and two losses. The United States emerged as the winners based on net run rate, and consequently qualified for the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy in England, making their One Day International (ODI) debut. American all-rounder Clayton Lambert led the tournament in runs, while Scotland's John Blain was the leading wicket-taker.
