The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup is the 12th edition of the Cricket World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by England and Wales from 30 May to 14 July 2019.

The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew from the bidding to host the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, which was

held in Australia and New Zealand. The first match will be played at The Oval while the final will be played at Lord's. It is the fifth time that

the Cricket World Cup will be held in England and Wales, following the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups.

The format for the tournament will be a single group of 10 teams, with each team playing the other nine once, and the top four at the end of the

group phase progressing to the semi-finals. The 10-team tournament has gained criticism due to the lack of Associate teams in the tournament.

Given the increase of the Test-playing nations from 10 to 12, with the admission of Ireland and Afghanistan in June 2017,

it will be the first World Cup
