'''Cricket World Cup qualification''' is the process national cricket teams go through to qualify for the [[Cricket World Cup]]. The Cricket World Cup is a global event, and qualification is used to reduce the large field of participants from about 100 to 10–14. The qualification process has started as early as almost 7 years before the World Cup.

==History==

From the first World Cup in 1975 up to the 2019 World Cup, the majority of teams taking part qualified automatically. Until the 2015 World Cup this was mostly through having [[List of International Cricket Council members#Full Members|Full Membership of the ICC]], and for the 2019 World Cup this was mostly through ranking position in the [[ICC ODI Championship]].

Since the second World Cup in 1979 up to the 2019 World Cup, the teams that qualified automatically have been joined by a small number of others who qualified for the World Cup through the qualification process. The number of teams qualifying for the World Cup changed from event to event. The first qualifying tournament being the [[ICC Trophy]];<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT2005/ARTICLES/history.html Cricinfo – 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> later the process expanding with pre-qualifying tournaments. Pre-qualifying tournaments were held within the five [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] regional bodies ([[African Cricket Association|Africa]], [[ICC Americas|Americas]], [[Asian Cricket Council|Asia]], [[ICC East Asia-Pacific|East Asia-Pacific]], [[European Cricket Council|Europe]]), and organized by their respective councils.

For the 2011 World Cup onwards, the past pre-qualifying processes were replaced by the [[World Cricket League]], administered by the ICC; and the ICC Trophy became known as the [[ICC World Cup Qualifier]],<ref name="World Cricket League">[http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc/development/wcl/ World Cricket League] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070119011351/http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc/development/wcl/ |date=January 19, 2007 }} ''World Cricket League Overview''</ref> and this remained the culmination of the qualification process and became the final stage of the World Cricket League competition. The World Cricket League was a series of international one-day cricket tournaments for national teams without Test status. All [[List of International Cricket Council members#Associate Members|Associate members]] of the ICC were able to qualify for the World Cup.

While 12 teams participated in the [[2009 ICC World Cup Qualifier]] and the top 4 teams qualified for the [[2011 Cricket World Cup]], at the ICC Chief Executives' Committee meeting in September 2011, the ICC decided on a new qualifying format for the [[2015 Cricket World Cup]]. Two teams from the top tier of the pre-qualifying tournament, the [[2011–13 ICC World Cricket League Championship]], qualified directly and did not compete in the [[2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]], which decided the remaining two places.<ref>{{cite web |title=Results of the ICC Chief Executives' Committee meeting in London |url=http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/newsdetails.php?newsId=17042_1315836720 |date=12 September 2011 |accessdate=13 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929011425/http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/newsdetails.php?newsId=17042_1315836720 |archivedate=29 September 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=ICC spells out 2015 WC qualification plan |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/current/story/535977.html |work=ESPNcricinfo |publisher=ESPN Sports Media |date=11 October 2011 |accessdate=11 October 2011 }}</ref>

For the 2019 World Cup, the host and the seven highest-ranked sides on the MRF Tyres ICC ODI Team Rankings as on 30 September 2017 qualified directly for the event proper. The four bottom-ranked sides were joined by six teams from the ICC World Cricket League in the 10-team ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2018, and the top two sides completed the 10-team World Cup line-up.

For the 2023 World Cup, only the host nation qualified automatically. 32 teams were divided into three leagues—[[ICC Cricket World Cup Super League|Super League]], [[ICC Cricket World Cup League 2|League 2]] and [[ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League|Challenge League]]—each with different paths to World Cup qualification. The leagues and supplementary qualifier and play-off tournaments also determined [[promotion and relegation]] between the leagues from one World Cup cycle to the next.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/1310135 |title=ICC launches the road to India 2023 |work=International Cricket Council |accessdate=12 August 2019}}</ref> The fourth World Cricket League competition was used for the initial placement of teams into the leagues for the 2023 World Cup qualifying, and has now been abolished.
