The International Cricket Council's executive committee votes for the hosts of the tournament after examining the bids made by the nations keen to hold the Cricket World Cup. All of the World Cup events so far have been held in nations in which cricket is a popular sport. Most of the tournaments have been jointly hosted by nations from the same geographical region, such as Europe (mainly the United Kingdom) in 1975, 1979, 1983, 1999 and 2019; Asia (mainly South Asia) in 1987, 1996, 2011 and 2023 (and also scheduled in 2031); Oceania in 1992 and 2015, Africa (mainly Southern Africa) in 2003 (and also scheduled in 2027) and the West Indies in 2007.
England have hosted the most World Cups – a total of 5 (including the first three World Cups). England has hosted the most number of World Cup alone, doing it in 1975 and 1979. In 1983 & 2019, despite being regarded as the only host for the tournament, some matches were played in Wales, while in 1999, some matches were played in Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland along with Wales. India are the second nation to host the world cup alone in the 2023 edition. The West Indies hosted the tournament in 2007 but are not considered as sole hosts because the West Indies represents a sporting confederation of 15 mainly English-speaking Caribbean countries, British dependencies and non-British dependencies.
