The ICC runs a amount of tournaments
and actions. The first, the World Cup, was launched in 1975 (the women had dramatic
their own competition two years before) and in 1979 they held the first ICC
Trophy, a one-day event for Associate members. In 1998 the first Champions
Trophy was played and in 2004 the Intercontinental Cup, designed to give
Associates exposure to first-class cricket, appeared. In 2005 the ICC held a
Super Series - between Australia and a World XI - but it was largely criticised
and is unlikely to reappear. In 2007 the first ICC World Twenty20 occurred in
South Africa.
In addition to the higher-profile
events, the ICC also runs the World Cricket League. Spread over five divisions,
it involves most Associates in international one-day competition with
relegation and promotion between divisions.
Since the ICC merged with the
Women's Cricket Council in 2005, the ICC has taken on the responsibility for
women's events.
