The ICC Intercontinental Cup was a first-class cricket tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as part of its cricket development programme. It was designed to allow Associate Members of the ICC the chance to play first-class cricket matches over four days against teams of similar skill in a competition environment and prepare them for eventual promotion to Test cricket status. First run in 2004, two of the most successful teams in the history of the tournament, Ireland and Afghanistan were promoted to Full Member and Test status, in 2017.

In October 2018, the ICC issued a media release asking for an expression of interest from teams who have competed in previous editions of the tournament.{{cite web |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/champions-trophy/media-releases/881375 |title=New qualification pathway for ICC Men's Cricket World Cup approved |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=1 November 2018 |archive-date=7 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190207015650/https://www.icc-cricket.com/champions-trophy/media-releases/881375 |url-status=dead }} However, since no further news regarding a new edition have emerged since then, the future of the tournament was put into doubt.{{cite web|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/111572/associates-in-2019-the-more-things-change-cricbuzzcom|title=New qualification pathway for ICC Men's Cricket World Cup approved |publisher=cricbuzz.com|access-date=2019-01-02}}{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/whatever-happened-to-the-intercontinental-cup-1259283 |title=Whatever happened to the Intercontinental Cup? |work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=17 April 2021}} In April 2021, the ICC looked at the possibility of multi-day matches between Associate Members with One Day International (ODI) status, and Test teams who are not part of the ICC World Test Championship.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-mulls-regular-test-matches-for-non-wtc-full-members-and-associates-in-next-ftp-cycle-1260609 |title=ICC mulls regular Test matches for non-WTC Full Members and Associates in next FTP cycle |work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=23 April 2021}}

Tournament history

=2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup=

{{main|2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup}}

The inaugural ICC Intercontinental Cup was completed on 22 November 2004 when Scotland won the title in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/141873.html|title=Scotland cruise to innings victory|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=22 November 2004}} Scotland beat Canada by an innings and 84 runs in the final. The competition included 12 teams, divided by geographical region into four groups of three. Each team played the other two teams in its group once each. The top team in each group then progresses to the semi-finals, and the winners of those to the final. In order to encourage competitive play and avoid deadlocks, a point system including bonus points was used.

=2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup=

{{main|2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup}}

Hong Kong came in to replace Malaysia, and the Cayman Islands replaced the United States who were ejected from the competition by the ICC because of then ongoing political problems within cricket in the US.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/icccont/content/story/215409.html|title=ICC expels USA from Intercontinental Cup|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=8 August 2005}} The points system was also modified so that teams could score unlimited batting points in the first innings and a maximum of 4 points in the second innings.

The tournament was won by Ireland who defeated Kenya in the final.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/icccont/content/story/223519.html|title=Ireland secure Intercontinental glory|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=29 October 2005}}

=2006–2007 ICC Intercontinental Cup=

{{main|2006–07 ICC Intercontinental Cup}}

The tournament was cut from 12 to eight teams, with Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and Uganda losing the right to participate, while Namibia knocked out Nepal in a play off for the eighth place. The match length was extended from three to four days, and each team was scheduled to play at least three matches. The teams were divided into two groups of four, with each team playing the other once and the top two teams qualifying for the final, and the points system has also been changed: 14 points are now awarded for a win, and six for a first-innings lead. Due to preparations for the 2007 World Cup and the longer tournament, the final was played in May 2007, where Ireland defeated Canada to defend their title.

=2007–2008 ICC Intercontinental Cup=

{{main|2007–08 ICC Intercontinental Cup}}

The 2007–08 tournament was played as a single round-robin league of eight teams, so that each team played seven matches.{{cite web|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/icccont/content/story/292562.html|title=New-look Intercontinental Cup schedule unveiled|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=27 April 2007}} The teams ranked first and second at the end of the pool stage contested the final.

Namibia topped the pool stage but faced a defeat in the final against Ireland in late October in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Ireland secured their third consecutive Intercontinental Cup victory by remaining unbeaten throughout the competition. They sealed the title by winning three successive crucial away matches in Africa, defeating Namibia twice and Kenya in between.

=2009–10 ICC Intercontinental Cup=

{{main|2009–10 ICC Intercontinental Cup}}

The 2009–10 tournament was expanded to two divisions and 11 teams.{{cite web|url=http://www.icc-europe.org/DATABASE/ARTICLES/articles/000047/004726.shtml|title=ICC Intercontinental Cup to be expanded to two divisions for 2009–10|publisher=ICC Europe|date=19 May 2009|access-date=21 May 2009|archive-date=28 May 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090528113708/http://www.icc-europe.org/DATABASE/ARTICLES/articles/000047/004726.shtml|url-status=dead}} Ireland, the Netherlands, Scotland, Canada, Kenya, and Afghanistan played in the top division, joined by Zimbabwe A. Meanwhile, United Arab Emirates, Namibia, Bermuda and Uganda played in the Intercontinental Shield.

Afghanistan won their first title, beating Scotland in the final.

=2011–13 ICC Intercontinental Cup=

{{main|2011–13 ICC Intercontinental Cup}}

In December 2010, the ICC announced that the 2011–13 tournament would revert to the 8 team, single division format of the 2007–08 season and that the Intercontinental Shield would be scrapped. The sixth staging of the Cup ran from June 2011 to October 2013. and included the top six associate and affiliate teams with One Day International status (ICC World Cricket League Division 1); Afghanistan, Canada, Ireland, Kenya, Netherlands and Scotland. The remaining two places were allotted to UAE and Namibia who finished in the top two of the ICC Intercontinental Shield and ICC World Cricket League Division 2.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/515596.html|title=UAE and Namibia join Intercontinental Cup |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=17 May 2011}} Later the ICC Development Committee decided to select the 3rd and 4th placed teams from the ICC World Cricket League Division 2 (Bermuda and Uganda) and two qualifiers to proceed from WCL Division 3 (Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea) bringing the total to 12 teams.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/490648.html|title=ICC revamps Intercontinental Cup and scraps Shield|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=6 December 2010}} A 50-over tournament was run alongside the re-expanded Intercontinental Cup.

The final of the 2011-13 competition was held in December 2013 between Ireland and Afghanistan, with Ireland winning their 4th Intercontinental Cup title.

=2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup=

{{main|2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup}}

In the wake of changes announced by ICC following its revamp in January 2014 when India, Australia and England Cricket Boards gained more control it was declared that the next winner of the Intercontinental Cup would get an opportunity to play 4 tests (2 home and 2 away) against the bottom ranked test nation and if the associate nation wins that series they would then gain Test status until the next Intercontinental Cup.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/current/story/714155.html|title=An 11th Test country? |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=30 January 2014}} However, with Ireland and Afghanistan gaining test status in June 2017 the Test challenge was not held.{{cite web |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/422449 |title=Ireland and Afghanistan ICC newest full members amid wide-ranging governance reform |access-date=22 June 2017 |work=International Cricket Council}}{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/1105347.html |title=Afghanistan, Ireland get Test status |access-date=22 June 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/1105382.html |title='I think this sets a terrific example' – Ireland CEO Deutrom |access-date=22 June 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo}} Ireland, Afghanistan, Scotland, United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, PNG, The Netherlands and Namibia qualified based on the results from 2011–13 ICC World Cricket League Championship, 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier and the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two. It ran in parallel with the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship but with slightly different teams. As Ireland and Afghanistan had qualified for the ICC One-Day International Championship ranking qualification process, they were replaced by Kenya and Nepal in the limited over event; however they continued to play the four-day event. Afghanistan won the tournament after defeating UAE during the final round.{{cite web |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/526672 |title=Afghanistan crowned Intercontinental Cup champs |access-date=2 December 2017 |work=International Cricket Council}}
