Organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Cricket World Cup is the preeminent championship of One Day International cricket. While a similar tournament has been held since 1912, the first-ever official ICC Cricket World Cup took place in London, England in 1975. It was won by the West Indies, which scored a 17-run victory over Australia in the final.

Apart from the West Indies team, which represents Anglophone Caribbean nations like Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and the British Virgin Islands, only five nations have won the quadrennial event: India, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and England. Below is an overview of the past five ICC Cricket World Cup tournaments:

1. 2019

For the first time ever, England won the ICC Cricket World Cup via boundary count in the final match against New Zealand. The latter, which finished as runner-up in the previous World Cup, was also in pursuit of its first-ever tournament victory. The two teams were so evenly matched that, for the first time in World Cup history, a Super Over was needed to determine the winner, but even that ended in a tie.

England, which won on account of having more boundaries than New Zealand, was propelled to victory in large part due to the play of Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes, who combined for a 110-run stand to lift the host nation out of an 86/4 deficit. Stokes, who was unbeaten on 84, earned Player of the Match.

New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, meanwhile, was named Player of the Series. Two months after the game, the Kiwi skipper explained his team was still trying to process the devastating loss: “It is one of those things that every day, often, you are having small conversations about it. Guys are still thinking about it, trying to make sense of it. That is a credit to the match we were involved in, but also the result and how it all ended up. One of those things that guys will be talking about for a long time.”

2. 2015

Hosted by Australia and New Zealand, the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, as per previous tournaments, included the 10 full member nations as well as four others that earned entry through qualification.

Qualifying teams were Ireland, Scotland, United Arab Emirates, and Afghanistan, the latter of which participated in the tournament for the first time ever. New Zealand and India finished first in Pool A and Pool B, respectively, with perfect 6-0 records. Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, South Africa, Pakistan, and West Indies also advanced to the knockout stage.

For the second consecutive World Cup, two of the host nations met in the finals as Australia defeated India (328/7 to 233) and New Zealand beat South Africa (299/6 to 281/5) in their respective semi-final matches. Australia emerged victorious in the final with a seven-wicket victory. Australia’s Mitchell Starc, who led the tournament in wickets, was named Player of the Series.

3. 2011

Three nations—India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh—hosted the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. This marked the second time that has happened. The first time was in 1996, when India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan hosted the tournament.

Similar to the 1996 World Cup, the 2011 tournament was won by one of the hosts. India registered a six-wicket victory over fellow host Sri Lanka in the final.

In addition to the 10 full ICC members, Canada, Ireland, Kenya, and the Netherlands participated in the event. It was also significant as it marked the first time World Cup games were played in Bangladesh.

4. 2007

The 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup stands out as it had the tournament’s largest-ever field with 16 teams. The six qualifying associate ICC members were Kenya, Bermuda, Canada, Ireland, and Scotland.

The only one of those nations to advance beyond the group stage was Ireland, which finished with a 1-1-1 record in Group D. It then finished last in the Super 8 stage, while Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and South Africa advanced.

Australia and Sri Lanka won their respective semi-final matches and Australia was victorious in the final by a score of 281/4 to 215/8. Glenn McGrath was named Player of the Series.

5. 2003

Australia won its second of three consecutive ICC Cricket World Cup tournaments in 2003. It scored an eight-wicket final match victory over India, which had reached the final for the first time since winning the tournament in 1983.

Despite the two teams playing a relatively close game in the group stage, Australia scored what stands as a World Cup finals record victory margin of 125 runs (359/2 to 234). Although Australia won the tournament, India’s Sachin Tendulkar was named Player of the Series.

The event was held in South Africa for the first time. During this event, several dominant teams, including England and Pakistan, fail to advance beyond the group stage.
