The ICC Cricket World Cup is the premier international championship of One Day International (ODI) cricket, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Played every four years, it brings together the world’s top national teams to compete in 50-over matches for the sport’s most prestigious trophy.
The tournament was first held in 1975 in England, with the West Indies emerging as the inaugural champions.

Australia lifted the 2011 World Cup trophy for a record third successive time after claiming victory over Sri Lanka in a rain-shortened final. Adam Gilchrist showed just how to do so with an amazing batting display that saw him score 149 off just 104 balls in Australia's win over Sri Lanka.
