ICC Champions Trophy Winners List (1998 to 2025)
The ICC Champions Trophy, introduced in 1998 as the ICC Knockout Tournament, was initially aimed at funding cricket in non-Test nations. Due to its success, major cricketing nations later hosted it. From 2009, only the top eight ICC ODI teams competed. After the 2017 edition, it was discontinued to streamline ICC events.
However, in 2021, the ICC announced its return in 2025 (Pakistan) and 2029 (India). If India opts out of playing in Pakistan, they may also skip ICC events held there. On 16 November 2021, the ICC announced that the 2029 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy would be held in India. It is expected to be played in October to November 2029.
