First World Cup: The first World Cup was held in 1975 in England. Sponsored by the Prudential Insurance Company, it was called the Prudential World Cup. On June 21, 1975 at Lord's, West Indies led by Clive Lloyd beat Ian Chappell-led Australia by 17 runs to win the first World Cup.

The first attempt at a World Championship of cricket was in 1912, when a three-way series was arranged between the current Test playing nations, Australia, England and South Africa. Dogged by poor weather, the experiment was not repeated until 1975, when following the success of domestic one-day competitions, the six Test playing nations (England, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, India and Pakistan) were joined by Sri Lanka and East Africa in the first World Cup. A resounding success, the tournament has taken place very four years since. In May and June of 1999, the 7th World Cup was played in England, Scotland, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
