Champions Trophy History
As one of cricket's most prestigious events, the ICC Champions Trophy sits alongside the World Cup as one of the two "majors" of international cricket.
The two tournaments are the only occasions on the cricket calendar when all 10 Test-playing nations come together to compete in the one event.
Originally introduced as the ICC Knock Out tournament in 1998 and staged every two years since that time, the event has evolved into a round-robin competition with teams split into pool groups based on their official ICC one-day international rankings.
In 2002, the tournament was renamed the ICC Champions Trophy to reflect the new competition format.
Year Venue Winner Runners up Format
1998 Bangladesh South Africa West Indies Knockout
2000 Kenya New Zealand India Knockout
2002 Sri Lanka India/Lanka* Round robin
2004 England West Indies England Round robin
2006 India Round robin
