The Jaffna franchise have won all three editions of the Lanka Premier League. In 2020, they finished third in the league in 2020 before winning the knockouts; in 2021, they topped the league table and lost the Qualifier 1 before winning two matches on the trot; and in 2022, they finished at the top of the group stage before winning both Qualifier 1 and the final.

Jaffna beat Galle in the final in 2020 and 2021, and Colombo in 2022, which remained the best performance for the two defeated franchises. Dambulla’s best performance was in 2020, when they finished second in the league stage but lost in the semi-final, while Kandy finished third in 2022.
