World Cup History

The first attempt at any kind of world championship was in 1912, when a three-way series was arranged between the then current Test playing nations, Australia, England and South Africa. Dogged by poor weather, the experiment was dropped and not repeated until 1975, when, following the success of domestic one-day competitions, the six Test-playing nations (England, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, India and Pakistan) were joined by Sri Lanka and East Africa in the first World Cup in England. A resounding success, the tournament was repeated in 1979 and 1983 in England, before moving abroad, maintaining a four-year cycle. The next tournament takes place in the Caribbean in 2007. A brief history of previous tournaments follows.

Threre have been eight world cups so far, and below are the venues and winners of the worldcups respectively:

Year - Venue - Winner

1975 - England - West indies
1979 - England - West indies
1983 - England - India
1987 - India & Pakistan - Austraila
1992 -Aus.&New zealand- Pakistan
1996 - Ind&Pak&Srilanka - Srilanka
1999 - England - Austraila
2003 - South Africa - Austraila
