The 2021 Royal London One-Day Cup tournament was a limited overs cricket competition that formed part of the 2021 English cricket season in England and Wales.[1] Matches were contested over 50 overs per side, having List A cricket status, with all eighteen first-class counties competing in the tournament.[2] The tournament started on 22 July 2021, with the final taking place on 19 August 2021 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.[3] Somerset were the defending champions winning the 2019 tournament,[4] with no tournament taking place in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

In August 2021, the Group A match between Middlesex and Gloucestershire was cancelled due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Gloucestershire team.[6] Therefore, the group was decided on an average points per game basis.[7]
On the final day of group stage matches, Durham and Glamorgan qualified to the semi-finals, after finishing at top of their respective groups.[8] Gloucestershire, Essex from group A,[9][10] and Surrey, Yorkshire from group B,[11] all qualified to the quarter-finals.[12] In the first quarter-final, Essex beat Yorkshire by 129 runs to advance.[13] The second quarter-final saw Surrey beat Gloucestershire by five wickets to also advance.[14] Glamorgan beat Essex by five wickets in the first semi-final to progress to the final of the tournament.[15] They were joined in the final by Durham, who beat Surrey by five wickets in the second semi-final match.[16] Glamorgan won the tournament, beating Durham by 58 runs in the final.[17]
