ICC Cricket World Cup
板球世界杯
The ICC Cricket World Cup is the international championship of One Day International (ODI) cricket. The event is organized by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), with preliminary qualification rounds leading up to a final tournament held every four years. The tournament is one of the world's most viewed sporting events and is considered the “flagship event of the international cricket calendar” by the ICC.
板球世界杯是由板球管理机构国际板球理事会(简称ICC)举办的国际性单日板球比赛。板球世界杯每四年举办一次，在决赛之前通常会举办资格赛来确定决赛名单。该项比赛是世界上观赏人数最多的体育运动之一，也被ICC视为国际板球赛事中最重要的一场。
The first World Cup was organized in England in June 1975, with the first ODI cricket match having been played only four years prior. However, a separate Women's Cricket World Cup had been held two years before the first men's tournament, and a tournament involving multiple international teams had been held as early as 1912, when a triangular tournament of Test matches was played between Australia, England and South Africa. Each of the first three World Cups were held in England. From the 1987 tournament onwards, hosting has been shared between countries under an unofficial rotation system, with fourteen ICC members having hosted at least one match in the tournament.
第一届板球世界杯于1975年6月在英格兰举办，四年前才刚刚举办过首届国际性单日板球比赛。然而，独立的女子板球世界杯比赛比首届男子板球锦标赛还要早两年举行。而且早在1912年就举办了由各国板球队参赛的板球锦标赛，在这次比赛中形成了澳大利亚、英格兰和南非三足鼎立的局面。前三届的板球世界杯都是在英格兰举办的，但从1987年的锦标赛开始，主办权按照一种非官方的轮流制由各个国家共享，因此国际板球理事会的14个成员国都至少举办过一次比赛。
