The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the global governing body of cricket. It was founded as the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1909 by representatives from Australia, England, and South Africa. In 1965, the body was renamed as the International Cricket Conference and adopted its current name in 1987. The governing bodies for cricket of a country recognised by the ICC as members take part in the competitions organised by the ICC. It has two membership categories: full and associate. Full members have full voting rights at meetings of the ICC and are qualified to play Test cricket, One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). All associate members are eligible to play T20Is while only the top performing associates are eligible to play ODIs.
There are also 5 regional bodies under the ICC—Africa Cricket Association, ICC Americas, Asian Cricket Council, ICC East Asia-Pacific and ICC Europe—that aim to organise, promote and develop the game of cricket in their respective regions. As of February 2024, there are 108 ICC members, with 12 full members and 96 associate members, of which 5 have men's ODI status, 2 have women's ODI status and 3 have both men's and women's ODI status.

The Imperial Cricket Conference was renamed as the International Cricket Conference in 1965, with new rules permitting countries from outside the Commonwealth to be elected into the ICC for the first time: Fiji and the USA became the first associate member nations that year. In 1981, Sri Lanka became the first associate member to be elected a full member. In 1989, the ICC was again renamed as the International Cricket Council. South Africa was re-elected as a full member of the ICC in 1991, with Zimbabwe elected in 1992, and Bangladesh elected in 2000. On 22 June 2017, Ireland and Afghanistan were granted full member status as well.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/40364481|title=Ireland & Afghanistan awarded Test status by International Cricket Council|date=22 June 2017|work=BBC Sport|access-date=22 June 2017|language=en-GB|archive-date=22 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170622143835/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/40364481|url-status=live}}

The membership committee will consider requests for membership – full and associate – against an objective set of criteria. There was previously a third level, affiliate membership, which was abolished in June 2017, with all existing affiliate members becoming associate members,{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/422449|title=Ireland and Afghanistan ICC newest full members amid wide-ranging governance reform|publisher=International Cricket Council|date=22 June 2017|access-date=1 September 2018|archive-date=23 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200423094510/https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/422449|url-status=live}} and introducing a two-tier hierarchy (full members and associate members): any new member elected to the ICC would be an associate member, with the possibility of promotion to full member status based on ongoing performance in international competitions.
== Membership criteria ==
In order for a nation to apply for associate membership they must meet 5 criteria given by the ICC:
- An appropriate domestic cricket structure.
- A recognized administrative governing body.
- Proper domestic cricket competitions.
- At least two cricket grounds in the country.
- A "National Development Plan" and an annual budget.
For an associate member to apply for full membership they must have the following in-addition to the above criteria:{{Cite web |date=2024-06-20 |title=What Are The ICC's Requirements For Full Member Status? {{!}} T20 World Cup 2024 {{!}} Cricket News Today |url=https://www.wisden.com/series/icc-mens-t20-world-cup-2024/cricket-news/what-are-the-iccs-requirements-for-full-member-status |access-date=2025-02-16 |website=Wisden |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=USA Cricket targets ICC Full Membership by 2030 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/usa-cricket-targets-icc-full-membership-by-2030-1236098 |access-date=2025-02-16 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}
