ICC Cricket World Cup 2023/24

The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup is the premier One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The ICC was founded in 1909 as the Imperial Cricket Conference by England, Australia, and South Africa, later becoming the International Cricket Council in 1987. The World Cup itself was first held in 1975 in England, organized by the then-International Cricket Conference. It is a quadrennial event, distinct from the biennial T20 World Cup and the bilateral Test series The Ashes. The tournament is not part of a domestic league pyramid and has no promotion or relegation; participation is determined by ICC rankings and a qualification process. The 2023 edition, held in India, featured 10 teams in a single round-robin group, with the top four advancing to semi-finals and the final. Australia won the 2023 final against India. Australia is the most successful team with six titles (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, 2023), followed by India and the West Indies with two each. The tournament has undergone several name changes due to sponsorship: Prudential Cup (1975-1983), Reliance World Cup (1987), Benson & Hedges World Cup (1992), and Wills World Cup (1996). Since 1999, it has been officially branded as the ICC Cricket World Cup. The 2027 edition, to be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, will expand to 14 teams. The format includes a 'Super Series' for the lowest-ranked qualifiers, two groups of six, and a 'Super 7' stage, replacing the previous 'Super Six' format. Qualification involves automatic spots for hosts and top-ranked teams, with the remaining spots filled via a global qualifier.
