ICC Champions Trophy, sometimes referred to as the Mini World Cup The International Cricket Council hosts the or simply Champions Trophy cricket competition every four years. The Champions Trophy, a brief cricket competition that was first held in 1998, was created by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to generate money for the advancement of the sport in non-testing nations. It is still remembered as one of the ICC competitions with a One Day International format, which is identical to another major cricket competition like the Cricket World Cup. One of the most watched sporting events in the world is the tournament.
In June 1998, Bangladesh hosted the inaugural Champions Trophy, following the Cricket World Cup, which had been going for 23 years and had six successful editions. In an effort to boost cricket’s appeal in Bangladesh and Kenya, two ICC Associate members, the first two Champions Trophies were hosted there. The money raised was then used to advance cricket in both nations. Six ICC members have hosted at least one tournament match, with hosting being divided across nations under an unofficial rotation system starting with the 2002 competition.
To select which countries go to the tournament phase in the present format, a qualification process is held during the previous Cricket World Cup. A spot in the World Cup is guaranteed for the top eight teams, including the Champions Trophy hosts. Thirteen teams have participated in all eight tournament editions; eight teams participated in the 2017 tournament. The event has been won twice by Australia and India, and once each by South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, the West Indies, and Pakistan. To date, seven national teams have participated in every tournament edition.
With their victory in the 2017 competition, which took place in England and Wales, Pakistan became the reigning champions. Pakistan is hosting the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

ICC Champions Trophy History
The Cricket World Cup was first staged in 1975 and has since been held every four years. The competition was typically participated in by all ICC members. The Champions Trophy is a brief cricket competition that was created by the ICC with the goal of raising money for the advancement of the sport in nations who do not play Test cricket. The first two events were staged in Bangladesh and Kenya.
It was inaugurated as the ICC KnockOut Trophy in 1998. Its name was changed to ICC Champions Trophy before the 2002 edition.
Since 2002, the tournament has been hosted by full ICC member countries, with the number of participating teams reduced to eight. This event, often referred to as the mini-World Cup because it features all full ICC members, was initially designed as a knock-out competition to keep it brief and maintain the prestige of the World Cup. However, starting from 2002, the format changed to a round-robin followed by knockout matches, while still being completed in a short span of about two weeks.
Over the years, the number of competing teams has changed; initially, all of the ICC’s full members participated, and from 2000 to 2004, associate members were also included. Only the eight teams that were rated top in the ICC ODI Rankings as of six months before the event started have competed since 2009. Since its start, the competition has taken place in seven nations, with three of those countries being in England.
The Champions Trophy was awarded every two years until 2006. Due to security concerns, the tournament that was originally set to take place in Pakistan in 2008 was shifted to South Africa in 2009. It was held every four years after that, just as the World Cup.
After 2013 and 2017, there were proposals to discontinue the competition, and in 2021 there would be no tournament. It was, nevertheless, brought back in 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy Format
The top teams in the ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings advanced to the competition in the first eight iterations. A few pairs of teams competed in the Pre-Quarterfinals in the first two editions to decide who would advance to the Quarterfinals. Nine teams were involved in 1998; this grew to eleven in 2000 and twelve in 2002. It was lowered to ten in 2006, when two teams from a qualifying round-robin of four teams advanced to the main tournament. After the 2009 competition, the figure dropped even lower to eight.
The top eight teams from the most recent ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup qualify for the event starting with the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
ICC Champions Trophy Tournament
The Champions Trophy and the World Cup have some distinguishing characteristics. The matches in the Champions Trophy span approximately two and a half weeks, but the World Cup might last for more than a month. The number of teams participating in the Champions Trophy is smaller compared to the World Cup. The most recent edition of the World Cup featured 10 teams, whereas the most recent edition of the Champions Trophy had 8 teams.
In 2002 and 2004, a round-robin competition was held with twelve teams divided into four pools of three. The top team from each pool advanced to the semi-final round. To win the tournament, a team would need to play a total of four games, consisting of two group games, a semi-final, and a final. The format employed in the Knock Out events diverged from the formats utilized in the Champions Trophy. The competition used a single-elimination format, where there were no preliminary rounds or groups, and the participant who lost each game was immediately eliminated from the competition. In 1998, a total of eight games were played, but in 2000, the number of games increased to ten.
Since 2009, a total of eight teams have participated in a tournament divided into two pools of four teams each. The teams compete in a round-robin format, where each team plays against every other team in their group. The top two teams from each pool then advance to the semi-finals. Defeat in a solitary match has the potential to result in expulsion from the competition. The current structure of the event consists of a total of 15 matches, and it typically spans approximately two and a half weeks.
| # | Year | Host(s) | Teams | Matches | Preliminary Stage | Final Stage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1998 | Bangladesh | 9 | 8 | Pre-Quarter final between 2 teams: 1 match | Knock-out of 8 teams: 7 matches |

ICC Champions Trophy Hosts
England has held the tournament three times, in 2004, 2013, and 2017. Wales has done so twice, in 2013 and 2017. There have been five different hosts of the event so far: Bangladesh, Kenya, Sri Lanka, India, and South Africa.
Sri Lanka was the first and only host team to win the event (along with India, who tied for first place). They were also the first home team to make it to the final. England made it to the final twice, both times on home grounds, but lost both times to the winners, West Indies (2004) and India (2013).
As part of its Future Tours Program for the years 2024–2031, the ICC announced in 2021 that Pakistan would host the event in 2025 and India would host it in 2029.

ICC Champions Trophy Tournament summary
A total of thirteen countries have achieved at least one qualification for the Champions Trophy. In every single finals competition, there have been seven teams competing. The championship has been won by seven different countries. The first tournament was won by South Africa, India and Australia have each won twice, and New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Pakistan have each won once. South Africa was the first event to win. It is only Australia that has won consecutive titles, and they have done so twice: in 2006 and 2009. Full International Cricket Council (ICC) member states (test-playing nations) Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, England, and Ireland are the only nations that have not won the Champions Trophy. Zimbabwe has never advanced past the first round, whereas Bangladesh progressed all the way to the semi-finals in 2017. England has qualified for the final twice, however both times they were unsuccessful (in 2004 and 2013). Kenya’s ninth-place finish in the first stage, which it obtained in the year 2000, is the highest rank that an associate member nation (a nation that does not play tests) has ever attained.
When Sri Lanka was the first and only host nation to win the event, it was in 2002. However, due to the fact that the final was twice canceled due to rain, Sri Lanka was recognized a co-champion together with India. Of the other hosts, England is the only one that has made it to the final. In 2004 and 2013, it was successful in accomplishing this goal. Even though they were hosting the tournament in 1998, Bangladesh was the only host country that did not take part in the competition. Kenya in the year 2000, India in the year 2006, and South Africa in the year 2009 are the only defending champions to have been ousted in the first round of competition.

2009 ICC Champions Trophy
The ICC chose Pakistan to host the 2008 Champions Trophy in 2006. Security concerns prevented some countries from visiting Pakistan, so the 2008 ICC Champions Trophy was postponed to October 2009. Given the congested international calendar and doubts over whether the security situation would have changed by then, there was widespread skepticism that it would happen in 2009.
On 16 March 2009, the ICC suggested moving the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy from Pakistan to South Africa.
Cricket South Africa announced that it would host the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy from 24 September to 5 October on 2 April 2009. The Board approved Liberty Life Wanderers (Johannesburg) and Supersport Park (Centurion) as host venues per ICC recommendations. A meeting between CSA CEO Gerald Majola and ICC general manager – Commercial Campbell Jamieson resolved SA’s Champions Trophy hosting. Majola revealed that Benoni’s Willowmoore Park and Potchefstroom’s Senwes Park will host the six warm-up games.
The first semi-final saw Australia beat England by 9 wickets, and the second saw New Zealand beat Pakistan by 5 wickets. The final saw Australia win New Zealand by 6 wickets in 45.2 overs.

Shikhar Dhawan was named Man of the Series and “Golden Bat” for scoring the most runs in the series. MS Dhoni became the first captain to win the World Cup (2011), World T20 (2007), and Champions Trophy.
2017 ICC Champions Trophy
This announcement was made by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in the days leading up to the 2013 tournament. The ICC stated that the Champions Trophy would be the final one, and that its position on the cricketing calendar will be taken over by a new ICC World Test Championship. However, in January of 2014, that decision was changed as a result of the enormous success of the 2013 edition. The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the Champions Trophy competition will take place in 2017, and the proposed Test Championship was scrapped. It was England and Wales that played host to the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017. England became the only country to host the Champions Trophy three times, and England and Wales became the only countries to hold the ICC Champions Trophy consecutively, with England also hosting the 2013 edition of the tournament. When the cut-off date arrived, Bangladesh took the place of the West Indies in the ICC One-Day International Team Rankings. The West Indies had ended outside the top eight in ninth place. For the first time since 2006, Bangladesh made its comeback to the ICC Champions Trophy. At the same time, the West Indies, who had previously successfully won the competition in 2004, were not able to qualify for the tournament.
Inseparable adversaries Pakistan and India, the reigning winners of the event, faced off against one other in the championship match for the first time since 2007. The match took place at The Oval in London, which is located in the United Kingdom. The Champions Trophy final was Pakistan’s first time competing in the tournament, while India was competing for the fourth time. In contrast to the encounter between the two teams that took place during the group stages, in which India had defeated Pakistan by a significant margin, Pakistan defeated India with ease by a score of 180 runs. Pakistan prevailed over India in all three departments, including batting, bowling, and fielding. Pakistan, which was the team with the lowest ranking in the competition, became the seventh nation to win the Champions Trophy overall and earned their first Champions Trophy championship.
The title for Man of the Match was given to Fakhar Zaman of Pakistan for his 114 runs scored while playing.He became the first and only batter to win not only two Golden Bats in the ICC Champions Trophy but also two consecutive Golden Bats (he also won it in 2013). Shikhar Dhawan of India was the recipient of the “Golden Bat” award for scoring 338 runs. He also became the first and only batter to win two Golden Bats in a row. Hasan Ali of Pakistan was awarded the “Golden Ball” for taking 13 wickets, and he was also deemed the Man of the Series for his excellent contribution to Pakistan’s first ICC title since the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup. Hasan Ali’s performance earned him both of these accolades.
2025 ICC Champions Trophy
On 16 November 2021, it was announced that the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan. It is confirmed to be played in February and March 2025.
