The2005 ICC Trophy was acricket tournament held inIreland between 1 July and 13 July 2005. It was an international one-day tournament played over 50 overs per side between 12 Associate Members of theInternational Cricket Council. It served as the final part of theCricket World Cup qualification process, coming with the prize of a place in the2007 Cricket World Cup (and together with it a share of US$2.5 million for future development) for the five top-ranked teams, and with the prize of officialOne-Day International status from 1 January 2006 (until the 2009 ICC Trophy) for the five top-ranked teams along with Kenya (who had already been given official one-day status until the 2009 ICC Trophy and a spot in the 2007 World Cup).
For the first time, five spots were on offer for the World Cup, compared to three previously. On 7 July, the top 4 teamsScotland,Canada and for the first timeIreland andBermuda qualified for the 2007 Cricket World Cup and, from 1 January 2006, gained officialOne-Day International status. On 11 July theNetherlands also achieved this by beating theUnited Arab Emirates to finish fifth. Scotland won the tournament, beating Ireland by 47 runs in the final.[1]
Dutch batsmanBas Zuiderent was named the Player of the Tournament.
It was the final edition of this competition titled 'ICC Trophy' before it was renamed to the 'Cricket World Cup Qualifier' for 2009.
The 12 teams were divided into two groups of six teams. Each team played with each other in its group once. Five matches per team were played between 1 July and 7 July. The resulting group tables were then each divided into three bands of two teams each.
Combining the two groups, the four teams in each band then played a mini knock-out tournament consisting of two semi-finals, a championship, and aconsolation match, so that the first- and second-ranked teams from each of the original groups were playing for first through fourth place in the tournament overall; the third- and fourth-ranked teams for fifth through eighth; and the fifth- and sixth-ranked teams for ninth through twelfth. Thus at the end of the tournament all teams are given a definitive rank between 1 and 12. The final play-offs were played on 11 July with the final on 13 July.
Apart from the academic interest in this final classification, one match in particular had great significance: the winner of the second band's mini tournament would, by taking fifth place overall, become the fifth and final team to win temporary ODI status and an invitation to the2007 Cricket World Cup.

Match abandoned without a ball bowled. The Lawn,Waringstown Umpires:Asad Rauf (PAK) & Shahul Hameed (Indonesia) |
All of the Group A games were washed out or abandoned because of weather conditions. Under the playing conditions, the rest day was only to be used as a reserve day if all matches in both groups were washed out. Therefore, the games between Ireland and the United States, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates (after the UAE had reached 57 for 3 after 15 overs), and Uganda and Bermuda were all "no results". The wash-out eliminates the United States from World Cup and ODI status contention.
