| Host | England |
The 2019 Cricket World Cup will be hosted by England. This will be the twelfth World Cup competition, and the fifth time it has been held in England.
The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England withdrew from the bidding to host the 2015 Cricket World Cup, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand. In turn, those countries had been defeated by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka for the right to stage the 2011 contest.
This will be the fifth time that England host the ICC Cricket World Cup. It hosted the first three editions (1975, 1979, 1983) and the 1999 tournament.
