The 2019 Cricket World Cup (officially ICC Cricket World Cup 2019) is scheduled to be hosted by England and Wales,[1][2] from 30 May to 15 July 2019.[3] This will be the 12th Cricket World Cup competition, and the fifth time it will be held in England and Wales, following the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups.

The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew from the bidding to host the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, which was held in Australia and New Zealand. The first match will be played at The Oval while the final will be played at Lord's. The 10-team-tournament has gained much criticism due to the lack of associate teams in the tournament, but the ICC plan to keep the competition at just 10 teams.[4] Australia are the defending champions.

Qualification

The 2019 World Cup will feature 10 teams, a decrease from previous World Cups in 2011 and 2015 which featured 14 teams.[5][6] The hosts England, and the top seven other teams in the ICC rankings (comprising the ten full members and two associate members), as of 30 September 2017, will earn automatic qualification with the remaining two spots being decided by the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[7][8] This means that ICC Associate and Affiliate members, which had previously been guaranteed four spots through the Qualifier, can be represented by at most two teams and possibly none at all if they are beaten by the other four Full Members in the Qualifier.[7] This also means that 4 Test playing nations will play in the qualifying tournament and therefore for the first time at least two Test nations will miss the World Cup. The format for the tournament will have just one group so each team will play 9 group games before 2 semi finals and a final.[9] However, a decision made in June 2017 to grant both Ireland and Afghanistan full Test status meant that all the teams in qualification were now Test sides.

London Olympic Stadium could also be added to the list of venues pending the result of a feasibility test.[11][12] In January 2017, the International Cricket Council (ICC) completed an inspection of the ground, confirming that the pitch dimensions would be compliant with the requirements to host ODI matches.[13]

The format for the group stage will see the ten competing teams all play each other once in a single group. This means a total of 45 matches will be played with each team playing a total of nine matches. The top four teams from the group will then progress to the knockout stage. A similar format was previously used in the 1992 ICC Cricket World Cup.
