Cricket World Cup winners by year

What you’ll be tested on

This quiz focuses on identifying Cricket World Cup winners by year, building a clean timeline of champions across editions.

Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think it through and learn as you go.

Difficulty and quiz settings

Difficulty is mixed by design: straightforward modern-era years sit alongside trickier older tournaments and closely spaced editions. You can also choose your question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the session for a quick refresher or a full deep-dive.

• Practice linking each World Cup year to its champion
• Strengthen recall of repeat winners and their winning streaks
• Spot gaps where you confuse hosts, finalists, and winners
• Train your “era awareness” (which teams dominated which decades)
• Build speed and confidence through repeated runs

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many misses come from mixing up the winner with the runner-up, especially in famous finals, or swapping nearby tournament years. Another frequent trap is assuming the host nation won—use the year as your anchor and confirm the champion before selecting an option.
