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,[9] with no tournament
hosted in 2021. However, it was reinstated in 2025.[10]
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, an
agreement was made between the BCCI and the PCB for games to be played across Pakistan
and a neutral venue, later announced as the UAE.
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. Pakistan team wearing the

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 The physical Champion's Trophy
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.[14]
