The ICC Cricket
World Cup, generally referred to as the Cricket World Cup, is the premier
international championship of men's One-day International (ODI) cricket.
The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International
Cricket Council (ICC), with preliminary qualification rounds leading up
to a finals tournament which is held every four years. According to the
ICC, it is the most important tournament and the pinnacle of achievement
in the sport. The first Cricket World Cup contest was organised in England
in 1975. A separate Women's Cricket World Cup has been held every four
years since 1973.
The finals of the Cricket World Cup are contested by all ten Test-playing and ODI-playing nations, together with other national teams that qualify through the ICC Trophy competition. Australia has been the most successful of the five teams to have won the tournament, taking three titles. The West Indies have won twice, while India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have each won once. The most recent Cricket
World Cup finals were held between 9 February and 24 March 2003, in Southern
Africa. Australia defeated India in the final to retain the championship.
The next tournament will be held in the West Indies in 2007, and will feature
sixteen teams. The format of the finals has evolved from tournament to
tournament. The next World Cup will consist of a pool stage (played in
round robin format), then a "super 8" stage, followed by semi-finals and
a final.
