Men's T20 World Cup tournaments

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup, formerly the ICC World Twenty20, is a biennial world cup for cricket in the Twenty20 International (T20I) format, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was held in every odd year from 2007 to 2009, and since 2010, has been held in every even year with the exception of 2018 and 2020. In 2018, the tournament was rebranded from the World Twenty20 to the Men's T20 World Cup.[1]

As of the 2026 tournament, twenty-four nations have played in the T20 World Cup. Nine teams have competed in every tournament, six of which have won the title. India has won the title three times. England and the West Indies have won the title twice each, while Australia, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka have won the title once each.[2][3]

India is the only team to have won the tournament as the hosts, doing so in 2026. In that tournament they also became the only team to retain their title. Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados is the only venue to have hosted more than one final (2010 and 2024).[4] All Test-playing nations made their debuts in the inaugural edition with the exception of Afghanistan and Ireland, who made their debuts in the 2009 and 2010 editions respectively.[a] Kenya and Scotland were the only associate member nations to feature in the inaugural edition.
