The 1975–76 Gillette Cup was the second edition of what is now the

Gillette
, it was the first season of the competition to carry that name.

Six teams participated – Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, the Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Windward Islands.[1] The competition was impacted by rain, with only three of the six scheduled group-stage matches being completed. Barbados were eventually joined by Trinidad and Tobago in the final, going on to defeat their opponent by 43 runs to claim their second domestic one-day title.[2] Two Barbadians, Gordon Greenidge and Wayne Daniel, led the tournament in runs and wickets, respectively.[3][4]
