India has won the ICC Champions Trophy three times, more than any other team. Its first was shared with Sri Lanka in 2002; it then beat England in 2013 and New Zealand in 2025. Australia is the only other multiple champion, winning back-to-back editions in 2006 and 2009.
Champions Trophy winners and runners-up by year
Nine editions have been completed. The first two were called the ICC KnockOut Trophy, but the ICC counts them in the same tournament history.
| Year | Winner | Runner-up | Final result | Host / final venue | Winning captain |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1998 | South Africa | West Indies | Won by 4 wickets | Bangladesh / Dhaka | Hansie Cronje |
| 2000 | New Zealand | India | Won by 4 wickets | Kenya / Nairobi | Stephen Fleming |
| 2002 | India and Sri Lanka | Shared title | No result after rain | Sri Lanka / Colombo | Sourav Ganguly and Sanath Jayasuriya |
| 2004 | West Indies | England | Won by 2 wickets | England / The Oval | Brian Lara |
| 2006 | Australia | West Indies | Won by 8 wickets (DLS) | India / Mumbai | Ricky Ponting |
| 2009 | Australia | New Zealand | Won by 6 wickets | South Africa / Centurion | Ricky Ponting |
| 2013 | India | England | Won by 5 runs | England and Wales / Birmingham | MS Dhoni |
| 2017 | Pakistan | India | Won by 180 runs | England and Wales / The Oval | Sarfaraz Ahmed |
| 2025 | India | New Zealand | Won by 4 wickets | Pakistan and UAE / Dubai | Rohit Sharma |
“Shared title” is not the same as a tied final. The 2002 match never reached a result because rain prevented a completed chase on both available days.
Titles by team
Seven teams have held the trophy. India leads because the ICC includes its joint 2002 win in the title count.
| Team | Titles | Winning years | Final appearances |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | 3 | 2002 shared, 2013, 2025 | 5 |
| Australia | 2 | 2006, 2009 | 2 |
| South Africa | 1 | 1998 | 1 |
| New Zealand | 1 | 2000 | 3 |
| Sri Lanka | 1 | 2002 shared | 1 |
| West Indies | 1 | 2004 | 3 |
| Pakistan | 1 | 2017 | 1 |
| England | 0 | — | 2 |
India lost the 2000 final to New Zealand and the 2017 final to Pakistan in addition to its three titles. New Zealand lost in 2009 and 2025 after winning in 2000. England reached two home finals but remains the only team in this table without a win.
1998: South Africa wins the first edition
The inaugural tournament was staged in Bangladesh as the ICC KnockOut Trophy. South Africa beat West Indies by four wickets in Dhaka, chasing 246 with three overs remaining.
Jacques Kallis shaped the tournament. He took five wickets in the final, scored an unbeaten 37 in the chase and finished as both the leading run-scorer and Player of the Series. It remains South Africa’s first senior men’s ICC limited-overs title.
2000: New Zealand beats India
New Zealand won its first senior men’s ICC trophy in Nairobi. India made 264 for 6 behind Sourav Ganguly’s 117, then reduced New Zealand to 132 for 5.
Chris Cairns changed the final with an unbeaten 102. He and Chris Harris rebuilt the chase, and New Zealand reached the target with two balls remaining. The four-wicket win remains one of the country’s defining ODI results.
2002: India and Sri Lanka share the trophy
The Colombo final was abandoned twice. On the scheduled day, Sri Lanka made 244 for 5 before rain stopped India at 14 without loss. Tournament rules required a fresh match rather than a continuation.
Sri Lanka then made 222 for 7 on the reserve day, only for rain to return with India 38 for 1. With no third day available and no completed second innings, India and Sri Lanka were declared joint champions.
The unusual format means India legitimately owns three titles, while Sri Lanka owns one. Calling 2002 merely “no result” without recording the shared trophy understates the official outcome.
2004-09: West Indies, then Australia twice
West Indies produced a lower-order escape against England at The Oval in 2004. Chasing 218, it fell to 147 for 8 before Courtney Browne and Ian Bradshaw added an unbeaten 71. Bradshaw hit the winning boundary with seven balls left.
Australia then became the first team to retain the trophy. It beat West Indies by eight wickets under the DLS method in Mumbai in 2006, then defeated New Zealand by six wickets at Centurion in 2009. Shane Watson made unbeaten scores in both finals, while Ricky Ponting captained both victories.
2013: India wins a 20-over final
Rain reduced the Birmingham final between India and England to 20 overs a side. India recovered from 66 for 5 to post 129 for 7, led by Virat Kohli’s 43 and Ravindra Jadeja’s unbeaten 33.
England needed 20 from the last 16 balls with six wickets left but lost four wickets in eight deliveries. India won by five runs. MS Dhoni thereby became the first captain to win the ODI World Cup, the men’s T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy.
The match retained ODI status despite its shortened length. The minimum-overs and rain rules behind that are explained in our ODI full-form and 50-over guide.
2017: Pakistan’s 180-run final win
Pakistan entered the 2017 tournament as its lowest-ranked team and lost its opening group match to India. The rematch at The Oval went the other way emphatically.
Fakhar Zaman made 114 after surviving an early caught-behind because Jasprit Bumrah had overstepped. Pakistan reached 338 for 4, Mohammad Amir removed India’s top three, and India was dismissed for 158. The 180-run margin remains the largest in a Champions Trophy final.
2025: India wins a record third title
The tournament returned after an eight-year absence, hosted by Pakistan with India’s matches played in Dubai. India completed an unbeaten campaign by beating New Zealand by four wickets in the final on 9 March.
New Zealand made 251 for 7. Rohit Sharma’s 76 gave India the chase’s foundation, and Ravindra Jadeja hit the winning runs at 254 for 6 with six balls left. Rohit was Player of the Match; New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra was Player of the Tournament.
The result moved India ahead of Australia in the title table. It also made 2025 the ninth edition, despite the tournament beginning 27 years earlier, because scheduling gaps interrupted its original two-year rhythm.
Champions Trophy versus the Cricket World Cup
Both are ICC ODI tournaments, but they are not interchangeable. The Champions Trophy uses a smaller eight-team field and a short group-and-knockout schedule. The World Cup has more teams, lasts longer and remains the format’s primary global championship. The complete Cricket World Cup winners list tracks all 13 editions and Australia’s record six titles.
| Feature | Champions Trophy | ODI World Cup |
|---|---|---|
| Format | 50-over ODI | 50-over ODI |
| Field | 8 teams in 2025 | Larger field |
| Length | About two and a half weeks | Roughly six weeks |
| First edition | 1998 | 1975 |
| Next scheduled edition | 2029 | 2027 |
The trophy belongs alongside our T20 World Cup winners list, Asia Cup winners history and IPL winners list rather than being folded into any of them. Tournament acronyms, result codes and DLS are decoded in the cricket abbreviations guide, with more historical tables on the cricket records hub.
