The ICC Champions Trophy, formerly known as the ICC Knock Out Trophy, is an international One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) contested by international men's teams.
Inaugurated in 1998, the ICC conceived the idea of the Champions Trophy – a short cricket tournament to raise funds for the development of the game in non-test playing countries. The first Champions Trophy was organised in Bangladesh in June 1998, with the Cricket World Cup having had existed for 23 years with six completed editions. The first two Champions Trophies were held in ICC Associate member nations – Bangladesh and Kenya, to increase the popularity of the sport in those countries and then use the funds collected for the development of their cricket. From the 2002 tournament onwards, hosting has been shared between countries under an unofficial rotation system, with six ICC members having hosted at least one match in the tournament. The current format involves a qualification phase, which takes place in the preceding edition of the Cricket World Cup, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. The top eight ranked teams in the World Cup (including the hosts of the Champions Trophy) secure a berth for the tournament.
So far, a total of fourteen teams have competed in the nine editions of the tournament. India (2002,2013,2025) is the most successful team with three titles, Australia (2006,2009) has won it twice while South Africa (1998), New Zealand (2000), Sri Lanka (2002), West Indies (2004) and Pakistan (2017) have won it once each. The 2002 edition was shared between India and Sri Lanka after the final ended in a no-result due to rain.
India are the current champions after winning the 2025 edition.

The first Cricket World Cup was held in 1975 and then every four years since. The tournament was usually played by full ICC member nations. The ICC conceived the idea of the Champions Trophy – a short cricket tournament to raise funds for the development of the game in non-test playing countries, with the first two tournaments being held in Bangladesh and Kenya.{{cite web|url=http://content.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/76807.html |title=Curtain falls amid high ICC hopes |date=2 November 1998 |publisher=Cricinfo |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070330074121/http://content.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/76807.html |archive-date=30 March 2007 |url-status=live |access-date=21 March 2009 |df=dmy }}
It was inaugurated as the ICC Knock Out Trophy in 1998. Its name was changed to the Champions Trophy before the 2002 edition.{{cite web|url=https://championstrophy2025schedule.com/champions-trophy-2025-schedule/ |title= History of Champions Trophy |date=25 September 2024 |publisher= Saif Ullah }}{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/short-history-of-iccs-champions-trophy/article18559653.ece|work=The Hindu|date=24 May 2017|access-date=17 June 2017|author1=Siddharth Benkat|title=The short history of ICC Champions Trophy}}

Since 2002, the tournament has been held in full ICC member nations with the number of teams reduced to eight. The tournament, later dubbed the "Mini World Cup" as it involved all of the full members of the ICC,{{cite news |last1=Madhavan |first1=Manoj |title=ICC Champions Trophy – The mini World Cup |url=https://www.livemint.com/news/business-of-life/icc-champions-trophy-the-mini-world-cup-1540500647690.html |access-date=19 April 2024 |agency=Mint |date=22 May 2013}}{{cite news |last1=Vaidyanathan |first1=Siddhartha |title=A brief history of the mini World Cup |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/a-brief-history-of-the-mini-world-cup-143115 |access-date=27 April 2024 |agency=ESPN Cricinfo |date=8 September 2004}}{{cite news |title=ICC Champions Trophy: The yesteryear winners of the 'Mini World Cup' |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/photos/icc-champions-trophy-2017/icc-champions-trophy-the-yesteryear-winners-of-the-mini-world-cup/photo-HzLRj3KriGngDhEcRez9MN.html |access-date=27 April 2024 |agency=Hindustan Times |publisher=Sports |date=24 May 2017}} was planned as a knock-out tournament so that it was short and did not reduce the value and importance of the World Cup. However, from 2002, the tournament has had a round-robin format, followed by a few knockout games, but the tournament still takes places over a short period of time – about two weeks.
The number of teams competing has varied over the years; originally all the ICC's full members took part, and from 2000 to 2004 associate members were also involved. Since 2009, the tournament has only involved the eight highest-ranked teams in the ICC ODI Rankings as of six months prior to the beginning of the tournament. The tournament has been held in 7 countries since its inception, with England hosting it thrice.
Up to 2006 the Champions Trophy was held every two years. The tournament had been scheduled to be held in Pakistan in 2008 but was moved to South Africa in 2009 due to security reasons. From then on it has been held every four years like the World Cup.
There were calls to scrap the tournament after 2013 and 2017,{{cite web|title=Test Championship to replace Champions Trophy|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/646147.html|access-date=21 July 2019|work=ESPN Cricinfo}} with no tournament hosted in 2021.

Pakistan was announced as the host of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, however, due to India's refusal to travel to Pakistan for the tournament citing security concerns, the ICC in an update issued on India and Pakistan hosted matches at ICC events, following an agreement between BCCI and PCB, established that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was played across Pakistan and a neutral venue in Dubai.{{cite web |date=19 December 2024 |title=Update issued on India and Pakistan hosted matches at ICC events |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/champions-trophy-2025/news/update-issued-on-india-and-pakistan-hosted-matches-at-icc-events |access-date=19 December 2024 |publisher=ICC}}{{Cite web |date=19 December 2024 |title=India to play Champions Trophy matches at neutral venue {{!}} cricket.com.au |url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/4189050/india-to-play-champions-trophy-matches-at-neutral-venue |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241220161822/https://www.cricket.com.au/news/4189050/india-to-play-champions-trophy-matches-at-neutral-venue |archive-date=20 December 2024 |access-date=20 December 2024 |website=www.cricket.com.au}} The ICC board confirmed that India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC events between 2024 and 2027 would be played at a neutral venue.

Format
=Qualification=
In the first eight editions, the top teams in the ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings qualified in the tournament.
In the first 2 editions, a few pairs of teams played in the Pre-Quarter-finals to determine who would move on to the Quarter-finals. The number of teams was 9 in 1998, which was increased to 11 in 2000 and to 12 in 2002. In 2006, it was reduced to 10, with four teams playing in a qualifying round-robin from which 2 progressed to the main tournament. From the 2009 tournament onwards, the number further reduced to 8.
From the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy onwards, the top eight teams of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup will qualify for the event.
= Tournament =
The Champions Trophy differs from the World Cup in a number of ways. The matches in the Champions Trophy are held over a period of around two and a half weeks, while the World Cup can last for over a month. The number of teams in the Champions Trophy are fewer than the World Cup, with the latest edition of the World Cup having 10 teams whereas the latest edition of the Champions Trophy having 8.
For 2002 and 2004, twelve teams played a round-robin tournament in four pools of three, with the top team in each pool moving forward to the semi-final. A team would play only four games (two in the pool, semi-final and final) to win the tournament. The format used in the Knock Out tournaments differed from the formats used in the Champions Trophy. The competition was a straight knock out, with no pools and the loser in each game being eliminated. Only eight games were played in 1998, and 10 games in 2000.
Since 2009, eight teams have played in two pools of four in a round-robin format, with the top two teams in each pool playing in the semi-finals. Losing a single match potentially means elimination from the tournament. A total of 15 matches are played in the present format of the tournament, with the tournament lasting about two and a half weeks.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-champions-trophy-2017/content/series/1022345.html?template=fixtures|title=2017 Champions Trophy fixtures|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=1 June 2017|access-date=19 June 2017}}

History
Thirteen nations have qualified for the Champions Trophy at least once. Seven teams have competed in every finals tournament. Seven different nations have won the title. South Africa won the inaugural tournament, India are the most successful team, having won three times. Australia has won two times, while New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Pakistan have each won once. Australia (2006, 2009) is the only nation to have won consecutive titles. Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, England and Ireland are the only ICC Full Member Nations (Test-Playing Nations) not to win the Champions Trophy. England has reached the final twice, but lost both times (2004, 2013), Bangladesh reached the semi-finals in 2017, while Zimbabwe has never got past the first round. The highest rank secured by an associate member nation (non test-playing nations) is the 9th rank in first stage achieved by Kenya in 2000.
Sri Lanka was the first and only host to win the tournament, in 2002, but they were declared co-champions with India as the final was twice washed out. England is the only other host to have made the final. It has achieved this twice – in 2004 and 2013. Bangladesh is the only host who did not take part in the tournament while hosting it, in 1998. Kenya in 2000, India in 2006, Pakistan in 2025, and South Africa in 2009 have been the only host teams that were eliminated in the first round.{{Cite web |last= |title=About ICC Cricket |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/events/icc-events/icc-champions-trophy |access-date=2024-12-20 |website=ICC |language=}}

The 2004 ICC Champions Trophy was held in England and the nations competing included the ten ICC Test nations, Kenya (ODI status), and – making their One Day International debut – the United States who qualified by winning the recent 2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge. The competition was more like a knockout series where teams losing even one game at the group stage were out of the tournament. The 12 teams were divided into 4 groups and the table topper from each group played semi finals. ENG defeated AUS in the 1st semi-final to make their 4th appearance in final of an ICC event.

On 24 August 2008 it was announced that the 2008 ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan has been postponed to October 2009 as several countries were reluctant to visit Pakistan for security reasons. However, due to the crowded international schedule around that date, and concerns about whether the security situation would have changed by that time, there was widespread scepticism whether it would actually take place in 2009.{{cite web|url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/current/story/366169.html|title=A devastating decision|author=Osman Samiuddin|publisher=Cricinfo.com|date=25 August 2008}}

Shikhar Dhawan received the "Golden Bat" for scoring the most runs in the series and was also adjudged the Man of the Series for his consistent outstanding performances. MS Dhoni became the first captain in history to win all three major ICC trophies – World Cup in 2011, World T20 in 2007 and this edition of the Champions Trophy.
