The Ashes is a Test cricket series played between England and Australia since 1882.

It is one of the most celebrated rivalries in international cricket and is currently played biennially, alternately in England and Australia.

The series is named after a satirical obituary published in a British newspaper, The Sporting Times, in 1882 after a match at The Oval in which Australia beat England on an English ground for the first time.

England is the current holder after winning the Ashes in 2009 and again in the 2010 / 11 series in Australia.

It is in fact a private memento, and for this reason it is never awarded to either England or Australia, but is kept permanently in the MCC Cricket Museum where it can be seen together with the specially made red and gold velvet bag and the scorecard of the 1882 match.

Because the urn itself is so delicate, it has been allowed to travel to Australia only twice.

The series alternates between the United Kingdom and Australia, and within each country each of the usually five matches is held at a different cricket ground.

The best-known and longest-running of these events is the rugby league rivalry between Great Britain and Australia ( see rugby league " Ashes ").

Another example is in the television show Gladiators, in which two series were based on contests between teams representing Australia and England.
