TheICC Champions Trophy, formerly known as theICC KnockOut Trophy, is an internationalOne Day International (ODI)cricket tournament organised by theInternational Cricket Council (ICC) and contested by international men's teams. Inaugurated in 1998, the Champions Trophy was established by the ICC as a short cricket tournament to raise funds for the development of the game in non-Test playing countries, contrasting with the mainstreamCricket World Cup, which had, at the time, existed for 23 years with six completed editions.
Thefirst Champions Trophy was organised in Bangladesh in June 1998 andthe next edition was held in Kenya in October 2000. These nations – both ICC Associate members – were chosen as hosts to increase the popularity of cricket and then use the funds collected for the continued development of the sport in those countries. From the2002 tournament onwards, hosting has been shared between countries under anunofficial rotation system, with six ICC members having hosted at least one match in the tournament. The current format involves a qualification phase, which takes place in the preceding edition of the Cricket World Cup, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. The top eight ranked teams in the World Cup (including the hosts of the Champions Trophy) secure a berth for the tournament.
So far, a total of fourteen teams have competed in the nine editions of the tournament.India (2002,2013,2025), who is the current champion after winning the 2025 edition, is the most successful team with three titles;Australia (2006,2009) has won it twice; whileSouth Africa (1998),New Zealand (2000),Sri Lanka (2002),West Indies (2004) andPakistan (2017) have won it once each. The 2002 edition was shared between India and Sri Lanka after thefinal ended in ano-result due to rain.

The first Cricket World Cup was held in1975 and then every four years since. The World Cup was usually played by full ICC member nations. The ICC conceived the idea of the Champions Trophy: a short cricket tournament to raise funds for the development of the game in non-Test playing countries, with the first two tournaments being held in Bangladesh and Kenya.[3]
It was inaugurated as the ICC KnockOut Trophy, which was held in1998 and2000. The tournament's name was changed to the Champions Trophy before the2002 edition.[4][5]
Since 2002, the tournament has been held in full ICC member nations with the number of teams reduced to eight. The tournament, later dubbed the "Mini World Cup" as it involved all of the full members of the ICC,[6][7][8] was planned as a knock-out tournament so that it was short and did not reduce the value and importance of the World Cup. However, from 2002, the tournament has had a round-robin format, followed by a few knockout games, but the tournament still takes places over a short period of time – about two weeks.
The number of teams competing has varied over the years; originally all the ICC'sfull members took part, and from 2000 to 2004 associate members were also involved. Since 2009, the tournament has only involved the eight highest-ranked teams in theICC ODI Rankings as of six months prior to the beginning of the tournament. The tournament has been held in 7 countries since its inception, with England hosting it thrice.
Up to 2006 the Champions Trophy was held every two years. The tournament had been scheduled to be held in Pakistan in 2008 but was moved to South Africa in 2009 due to security reasons. From then on it has been held every four years like theWorld Cup.
There were calls to scrap the tournament after 2013 and 2017,[9] with no tournament hosted in 2021. However, it was reinstated in 2025.[10]
On 13 November 2024, the ICC launched a refreshed visual identity with an unconventional typographiclogo for the Champions Trophy with the release of a brand launch video.[11][12] The new elements were accompanied by the distinctive white jackets which nod to the history of the Champions Trophy.[13]
Pakistan was announced as the host of the2025 ICC Champions Trophy, however, due to India's refusal to travel to Pakistan for the tournament citing security concerns, the ICC in an update issued on India and Pakistan hosted matches at ICC events, following an agreement between BCCI and PCB, established that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was played across Pakistan and a neutral venue in Dubai.[14][15] The ICC board confirmed that India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC events between 2024 and 2027 would be played at a neutral venue. On 24 December 2024, the fixtures were announced along with theDubai International Cricket Stadium inDubai, UAE as the neutral venue for the tournament.[16][17]
In the first eight editions, the top teams in theICC Men's ODI Team Rankings qualified in the tournament.In the first 2 editions, a few pairs of teams played in the Pre-Quarter-finals to determine who would move on to the Quarter-finals. The number of teams was 9 in 1998, which was increased to 11 in 2000 and to 12 in 2002. In 2006, it was reduced to 10, with four teams playing in a qualifying round-robin from which 2 progressed to the main tournament. From the 2009 tournament onwards, the number further reduced to 8.
From the2025 ICC Champions Trophy onwards, the top eight teams of theICC Men's Cricket World Cup will qualify for the event.
The Champions Trophy differs from the World Cup in a number of ways. The matches in the Champions Trophy are held over a period of around two-and-a-half weeks, while the World Cup can last for over a month. The number of teams in the Champions Trophy are fewer than in the World Cup, with thelatest edition of the World Cup having ten teams, whereas thelatest edition of the Champions Trophy had eight.
For 2002 and 2004, twelve teams played around-robin tournament in four pools of three, with the top team in each pool moving forward to the semi-final. A team would play only four games (two in the pool, semi-final and final) to win the tournament. The format used in the KnockOut tournaments (1998 and 2000) differed from the formats used in the Champions Trophy. The competition consisted entirely of asingle-elimination tournament (a type of knockout tournament, hence the name used at that time), with no pools and the loser in each game being eliminated immediately. Only eight games were played in 1998, and ten games in 2000.
Since 2009, eight teams have played in two pools of four in a round-robin format, with the top two teams in each pool playing in the semi-finals. Losing a single match potentially means elimination from the tournament. A total of 15 matches are played in the present format of the tournament, with the tournament lasting about two and a half weeks.[18]

England has hosted the tournament for the most times – 3 (2004, 2013, 2017) followed by Wales (2013 and 2017). Bangladesh, Kenya, Sri Lanka, India and South Africa have all hosted the tournament once each.
Sri Lanka were the first (and currently the only) host team to win the tournament (alongside joint winners India), while also being the first home team to reach the final of the tournament.[19] England reached the final two times, both on home soil, only to lose to winners West Indies (2004) and India (2013) respectively.[20]
In 2021, the ICC announced theFuture Tours Programme for the 2024–2031 cycle, announcing Pakistan as the host for the 2025 edition and India for the 2029 edition of the tournament.[21][22][23][24]

The highest rank secured by an associate member nation (non test-playing nations) is the 9th rank in first stage achieved byKenya in2000.
Sri Lanka was the first and only host to win the tournament, in2002, but they were declared co-champions withIndia as the final was twice washed out.England is the only other host to have made the final. It has achieved this twice – in2004 and2013.Bangladesh is the only host who did not take part in the tournament while hosting it, in1998.Kenya in2000, India in2006, Pakistan in2025, andSouth Africa in2009 have been the only host teams that were eliminated in the first round.[25]
All of the matches in the 1998 tournament were played in Bangladesh atBangabandhu National Stadium inDhaka. The tournament was won by South Africa who beat West Indies in the final. Philo Wallace of West Indies was the leading run scorer in the tournament of scoring 221 runs.
All of the matches in the 2000 tournament were played atGymkhana Club Ground inNairobi, Kenya. All the test playing nations participated in the tournament along with the finals, involving Kenya, India, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Bangladesh and England. The tournament was won by New Zealand who beat India in the final. Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly (348) was the leading run scorer in this tournament. Venkatesh Prasad (8) was the leading wicket taker. This was the first ICC event won by New Zealand. It was also their only ICC trophy till 2021, and their only limited overs tournament till date.
The 2002 ICC Champions Trophy was held in Sri Lanka, and included the 10 ICC Test playing nations including the newly appointed full member Bangladesh,Kenya (ODI status) and the2001 ICC Trophy winnersNetherlands. The final between India andSri Lanka was washed out due to rain twice to leave no result. First, Sri Lanka played 50 overs and then India played two overs before the rain caused interruption. The next day,Sri Lanka again played 50 overs and India played eight overs. In the end India and Sri Lanka were declared joint winners. The teams played 110 overs, but there was no result. Virender Sehwag (271) had the highest number of runs in the tournament and Muralitharan (10) had the highest number of wickets.[26]
The 2004 ICC Champions Trophy was held in England and the nations competing included the ten ICC Test nations,Kenya (ODI status), and – making theirOne Day International debut – theUnited States who qualified by winning the recent2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge. The competition was more like a knockout series where teams losing even one game at the group stage were out of the tournament. The 12 teams were divided into 4 groups and the table topper from each group played semi finals. ENG defeated AUS in the 1st semi-final to make their 4th appearance in final of an ICC event. PAK lost to WI in the second semi final, which was a low scoring game. In the final game the WI team under Lara's leadership won a tense match with the help of wicket keeper C Browne and tailender Ian Bradshaw.
The 2006 ICC Champions Trophy was held in India with the final on 5 November 2006. A new format was used. Eight teams were competing in the group phase: the top six teams in theICC ODI Championship on 1 April 2006, plus two teams chosen from the other four Test-playing teams Sri Lanka,West Indies,Bangladesh andZimbabwe, chosen from a pre-tournament round robin qualifying round. West Indies and Sri Lanka qualified ahead of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
The eight teams were then split into two groups of four in a round robin competition. While Australia and West Indies qualified from Group A, South Africa and New Zealand qualified from Group B for the semifinals. Australia and West Indies reached the final defeating New Zealand and South Africa, respectively. In the final, Australia beat West Indies by 8 wickets to win the trophy for the first time. The venues for the tournament wereMohali,Ahmedabad,Jaipur andMumbai.
In 2006, the ICC selectedPakistan to host the2008 ICC Champions Trophy. On 24 August 2008 it was announced that the 2008 ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan has been postponed to October 2009 as several countries were reluctant to visit Pakistan for security reasons. However, due to the crowded international schedule around that date, and concerns about whether the security situation would have changed by that time, there was widespread scepticism whether it would actually take place in 2009.[27]
On 16 March 2009, an announcement was made that the ICC has recommended that the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy be moved from Pakistan to South Africa.[28]
On 2 April 2009, Cricket South Africa confirmed that it would host the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy from 24 September to 5 October. The Board accepted recommendations from the ICC that Liberty Life Wanderers (Johannesburg) and Supersport Park (Centurion) be the host venues. The details of SA's hosting of the Champions Trophy were ironed out at a meeting between CSA's CEO Gerald Majola and ICC general manager – Commercial, Campbell Jamieson. Majola confirmed that the six warm-up games will be played at Benoni's Willowmoore Park, and Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.[29]
Australia beat England by 9 wickets in the 1st semi-final, and New Zealand beat Pakistan by 5 wickets in the 2nd semi-final, to set up a final that saw Australia beat New Zealand by 6 wickets, in 45.2 overs.

England and Wales hosted the 2013 Champions Trophy.[30] England became the only country to host the Champions Trophy twice.[31] Australia failed to win a single game in their group, and were knocked out along with New Zealand in Group A. Pakistan lost all three games in Group B and were knocked out along with West Indies. England and Sri Lanka from Group A, and India and South Africa from Group B, made it to the semi-finals.
India and England won their respective games against Sri Lanka and South Africa comprehensively and the final between the two took place on 23 June 2013. India beat England by 5 runs atEdgbaston, winning their second title, although their first title, in2002, was shared with Sri Lanka due to the final being washed out.Ravindra Jadeja was adjudged man of the match and he also received the "Golden Ball" for taking the most wickets in the tournament.Shikhar Dhawan received the "Golden Bat" for scoring the most runs in the series and was also adjudged the Man of the Series for his consistent outstanding performances.MS Dhoni became the first captain in history to win all three major ICC trophies –World Cup in 2011,World T20 in 2007 andthis edition of the Champions Trophy.

In the lead-up to the 2013 tournament, the ICC announced that the 2013 Champions Trophy was to be the last,[32] with its place in the cricketing calendar to be taken by a newICC World Test Championship.[33] However, in January 2014, that decision was reversed, due to the massive success of the 2013 edition, with the ICC confirming that the 2017 Champions Trophy tournament would take place and the proposed Test Championship was cancelled.[34] England and Wales hosted the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. England became the only country to host the Champions Trophy thrice, and England and Wales became the only countries to host the ICC Champions Trophy consecutively, also hosting the2013 edition.Bangladesh replaced theWest Indies, who finished outside the top eight in ninth position, in the ICC ODI Team Rankings on the cut-off date. Bangladesh returned to the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time since 2006, and, for the first time, the West Indies failed to qualify, having won the tournament in 2004.
Arch-rivals Pakistan and defending champions India took each other on in the final of a tournament for the first time since 2007, with the final taking place atThe Oval inLondon.[35] It was India's fourth appearance and Pakistan's maiden appearance in a Champions Trophy final. Pakistan beat India comfortably by 180 runs, outclassing them across all three departments-batting, bowling and fielding, unlike in the match between the two teams in the group stages, where India had beaten Pakistan by a huge margin.[36][37] Pakistan, the lowest-ranked team in the competition,[38] won their first Champions Trophy title and became the seventh nation to win it.
Fakhar Zaman of Pakistan received the Man of the Match award for scoring 114.[39]Shikhar Dhawan of India received the "Golden Bat" award for scoring 338 runs, and became the first and only batter to not only win 2 Golden Bats in the ICC Champions Trophy but also 2 consecutive Golden Bats (he also won it in 2013).[40]Hasan Ali of Pakistan received the "Golden Ball" award for taking 13 wickets; he was also adjudged the Man of the Series for his outstanding contribution towards Pakistan's first ICC title since the2009 T20 World Cup.[41]
In November 2021, it was announced that the2025 ICC Champions Trophy was to be held in Pakistan.[42] Due to political tensions, India refused to play matches in Pakistan and it was decided that tournament would take place using a hybrid model, with India's group matches and semi-final played in Dubai, with the final also moved to Dubai.[43][44][45] In the final, India defeated New Zealand by four wickets to win their record third title after 2002 and 2013.[46][47]
In November 2021, it was announced that the 2029 ICC Champions Trophy would be held in India. It is expected to be played in October and November 2029.[48]
