The 2021 Marsh One-Day Cup was the 52nd season of the official List A domestic cricket competition being played in Australia. On 26 June 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed all the squads for the 2020–21 domestic cricket season.[1][2] Western Australia were the defending champions.[3]

On 16 December 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the schedule of the tournament,[4] with the final scheduled to be played on 30 April 2021, the latest finish to a domestic cricket season in Australia.[5] On 10 February 2021, Cricket Australia announced the reduction of the tournament from 22 to 16 matches due to concerns over bubble fatigue,[6] which resulted in a full schedule change.[7]

New South Wales won the tournament, after they beat Western Australia by 102 runs in the final.[8]
