The ICC Cricket World Cup has crowned thirteen champions since its inaugural edition in 1975. From the West Indies' dominance in the late 1970s to India's historic triumphs in 1983 and 2011, the tournament has produced some of cricket's most iconic moments. This guide chronicles every final result with full statistical context.
Australia leads with six titles, including a three-peat from 1999 to 2007. India and West Indies have won twice each, while Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and England have one title apiece. Australia's dominance spans four decades, making them the most decorated World Cup nation in history.
