A separate [[Women's Cricket World Cup]] has been held every four years since 1973. The finals of the Cricket World Cup are contested by all ten [[Test cricket|Test]]-playing and [[One Day International#Teams with ODI status|ODI-playing]] nations, together with other nations that qualify through the [[Cricket World Cup Qualifier|World Cup Qualifier]]. [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] has been the most successful of the five teams to have won the tournament, taking four titles. The [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] have won twice, while [[Indian cricket team|India]], [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistan]], and [[Sri Lankan cricket team|Sri Lanka]] have each won once. The [[2007 Cricket World Cup]] finals were held between [[13 March]] and [[28 April]] [[2007 in sports|2007]], in the [[West Indies]]. The 2007 tournament had sixteen teams competing in a pool stage (played in [[round-robin tournament|round-robin]] format), then a "super 8" stage, followed by semi-finals and a final. Australia defeated Sri Lanka in the final to retain the championship. ==History== {{main|History of the Cricket World Cup}} ===Before the first Cricket World Cup=== The [[United States v Canada (1844)|first ever international cricket match]] was played between Canada and the United States, on the 24th and 25th of September 1844. However, the first credited [[Test cricket|Test match]] was played in [[1877 in sports|1877]] between [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] and [[English cricket team|England]], and the two teams competed regularly for [[The Ashes]] in subsequent years. [[South African cricket team|South Africa]] was admitted to Test status in 1889.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/australia/content/match/62396.html|publisher=cricinfo.com|date=[[1877-03-15]]|title= 1st Test Scorecard|accessdate=2007-01-28}}</ref> Representative cricket teams were selected to [[International structure of cricket|tour]] each other, resulting in bilateral competition. Cricket was also included as an [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] sport at the [[1900 Summer Olympics|1900 Paris Games]], where [[Great Britain and Ireland at the 1900 Summer Olympics|Great Britain]] defeated [[France at the 1900 Summer Olympics|France]] to win the [[Gold medal#Olympic Games|gold medal]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1900S/1900/OLYMP/GREAT-BRIT_FRANCE_OLYMP_FINAL_19-20AUG1900.html|publisher=cricinfo.com|date=[[1900-08-19]]|title= Olympic Games, 1900, Final|accessdate=2006-09-09}}</ref> This was the only appearance of cricket at the [[Summer Olympic Games|Summer Olympics]]. The first multilateral competition at international level was the [[1912 Triangular Tournament]], a Test cricket tournament played in England between all three Test-playing nations at the time: England, Australia and South Africa. The event was not a success: the summer was exceptionally wet, making play difficult on damp uncovered pitches, and attendances were poor, attributed to a "surfeit of cricket".<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/207248.html|publisher=cricinfo.com|title= The original damp squib|date=[[2005-04-23]]|accessdate=2006-08-29}}</ref> In subsequent years, international Test cricket has been generally been organised as bilateral series: a multilateral Test tournament was not organised again until the quadrangular [[Asian Test Championship]] in 1999. The number of nations playing Test cricket increased gradually over the years, with the addition of [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] in 1928, [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] in 1930, [[Indian cricket team|India]] in 1932, and [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistan]] in 1952, but international cricket continued to be played as bilateral Test matches over three, four or five days. In the early 1960s, English [[county cricket]] teams began playing a shortened version of cricket which only lasted for one day. Starting in [[1962 English cricket season|1962]] with a four-team [[single-elimination tournament|knockout competition]] known as the Midlands Knock-Out Cup,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/208335.html|publisher=cricinfo.com|date=[[2005-04-30]]|title= The birth of the one-day game|accessdate=2006-09-10}}</ref> and continuing with the inaugural [[Friends Provident Trophy|Gillette Cup]] in [[1963 English cricket season|1963]], [[Limited overs cricket|one-day cricket]] grew in popularity in England.

The first One-Day International event was played on the fifth day of a rain-aborted Test match between England and Australia at [[Melbourne]] in [[English cricket team in Australia in 1970-71|1971]], to fill the time available and as compensation for the frustrated crowd.
