Which country has won the most Cricket World Cups?

Australia has won the most men’s Cricket World Cups, with six titles. Its championships came in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, and 2023, putting Australia ahead of India and the West Indies.

Australia’s first triumph came in 1987, when Allan Border’s team defeated England in the final in Kolkata. The strongest run followed in the early 2000s: Australia won the 1999, 2003, and 2007 tournaments, including an unbeaten campaign in 2003 and another perfect tournament in 2007.

Australia returned to the top in 2015 on home soil, defeating New Zealand in the final at Melbourne. Its sixth title came in 2023, when Pat Cummins’ team beat India in Ahmedabad. Australia has also reached the finals in years when it did not win, including 1975 and 1996.

This question normally refers to the men’s 50-over ODI World Cup. The women’s Cricket World Cup is a separate competition with a different title record, so the wording depends on the tournament category. Among the listed options and in the standard men’s World Cup context, Australia is the canonical answer.
