The 2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge was an international limited-overs cricket tournament held in the United Arab Emirates from 29 February to 6 March 2004. Matches were played in Dubai and Sharjah.

The tournament was the third and final edition of the ICC Six Nations Challenge, and featured six associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Canada, Namibia, and the Netherlands had competed in the 2003 World Cup, while the three other teams invited were Scotland, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.K. R. Nayar (29 February 2004). [http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/general/icc-six-nations-challenge-from-today-1.315042 "ICC Six Nations Challenge from today"] – Gulf News. Retrieved 29 March 2016. The six teams played each other once in a round-robin, with five teams finishing with three wins and two losses. The United States emerged as the winners based on net run rate, and consequently qualified for the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy in England, making their One Day International (ODI) debut.(8 March 2004).
