History

The All-Craitland was founded in 2003 as the primary ólbescból competition in Craitland. The first five championships were held between the six Craitish provincial teams. In 2008, following the foundation of the territories of Incontinentia, New Vaduz and Zandarijn the previous year, the competition was expanded to include their national sides and was changed to a two-group format. Mercury first entered the competition in 2013, becoming the tenth team to play in the Championship, with Senya's addition in 2017 bringing the number of competing sides to eleven. In 2020, the Championship comprised twelve teams, with the best-placed national team from the year's All-Mercury Ólbescból Championships receiving an invitation to compete, before being reduced down to ten in 2021 with the removal of Incontinentia and New Vaduz after those territories' dissolution. Following the removal of the disbanded territory Zandarijn and addition of the newly-established Victoria, the tournament's format from the 2022 season onward switched to a sole ten-team group format with all teams playing one another twice.
