The ACC Fast Track Countries Tournament was a three-day cricket tournament run by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), contested between its top-ranking ICC associate members. It was played three times between 2004 and 2006, and then replaced by the ACC Twenty20 Cup.{{Cite web |url=http://asiancricket.org/index.php/tournaments/acc-twenty20-cup-2007/877 |title=Article about ACC Twenty20 Cup |access-date=21 July 2014 |archive-date=8 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808063329/http://asiancricket.org/index.php/tournaments/acc-twenty20-cup-2007/877 |url-status=dead }} Some matches in the second edition of the tournament held first-class status, as they were simultaneously ICC Intercontinental Cup matches.

Hong Kong, the UAE and Nepal all qualified for the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup as a result of their top three finish in the tournament.[http://asiancricket.org/index.php/tournaments/fast-track-countries-tournament-2004-2005/571 2004 tournament points table] A separate final was originally set to be held, but as Hong Kong and the UAE topped the group with only their group match to take place, it was decided to make the final group match the overall tournament final. The UAE beat Hong Kong by five wickets in that final.
