The ICC Champions Trophy, also called the "Mini World Cup"[3][4][5] or simply "Champions Trophy" is a cricket tournament organised by the International Cricket Council every four years. Inaugurated in 1998, 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. It remains as one of those ICC events that had the same format as that of another big cricketing event, like the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, with the format being One Day Internationals. The tournament is one of the world's most viewed sporting events.[6]
The first Champions Trophy was organised in Bangladesh in June 1998, with the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup having had existed for 23 years with six completed editions. The first two Champions Trophies were held in ICC Assosciate member nations - Bangladesh and Kenya, to increase the popularity of the sport in those countries and then use the funds collected for the development of their cricket. From the 2002 tournament onwards, hosting has been shared between countries under an unofficial 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 ICC Men's 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. A total of thirteen teams have competed in the 8 editions of the tournament, with eight teams competing in the recent 2017 tournament. Australia and India have won the tournament twice, while South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Pakistan have won it once each. Seven national teams have played in every edition of the tournament yet.
Pakistan are the current champions after winning the 2017 tournament, held in England and Wales. The subsequent 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan.
