List of ICC World Cup Winners: There is nothing bigger or more prestigious in the world of cricket than the quadrennial ICC World Cup. It is held once every four years and includes the 10 best teams in the world. The tournament is set to return in 2023, hosted by India, arguably cricket’s biggest supporter.
The 2023 World Cup started on October 5 and will end on November 19. India are two-time winners of the ICC World Cup, having lifted the coveted trophy in 1983 and 2011. However, Australia is the most successful and dominant team at the World Cup, with the most wins and the most titles (5).
The reigning champions are England, who beat New Zealand in a hugely exciting World Cup 2019 final. With England looking to defend their title, New Zealand looking to avenge their defeat, India hoping to bring the trophy home and Australia showing their dominance and proves why it is the number one ODI team in the world, ICC World Cup 2023 will be a sporting spectacle for the ages.
In this regard, we bring you the following list of all ICC Cricket World Cup winners from 1975 to 2003.
