The '''1999 ICC Cricket World Cup''', also branded as '''England '99''', was the seventh edition of the [[Cricket World Cup]], organised by the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC). It was hosted primarily by England, with selected matches also played in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands. The tournament was won by [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]], who beat [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] by 8 wickets in the [[1999 Cricket World Cup final|final]] at [[Lord's]] in London.

The tournament was hosted three years after the previous Cricket World Cup, deviating from the usual four-year gap.<ref>{{Cite web|date=16 October 2019|title=Sourav Ganguly Doubtful About ICC's Plans To Host Cricket World Cup Every Three Years|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/sports-news-sourav-ganguly-doubtful-about-iccs-plans-to-host-cricket-world-cup-every-three-years/340587/|access-date=23 November 2020|website=Outlook|agency=PTI}}</ref>

==Format==
It featured 12 teams, playing a total of 42 matches. In the group stage, the teams were divided into two groups of six; each team played all the others in their group once. The top three teams from each group advanced to the Super Sixes, a new concept for the 1999 World Cup; each team carried forward the points from the games against the other qualifiers from their group and then played each of the qualifiers from the other group (in other words, each qualifier from Group A played each qualifier from Group B and vice versa). The top four teams in the Super Sixes advanced to the semi-finals.

The 1999 World Cup featured 12 teams, which was the same as the previous edition in 1996. The hosts England and the eight other [[Test cricket|test nations]] earned automatic qualification to the World Cup. The remaining three spots were decided at the [[1997 ICC Trophy]] in Malaysia.

22 nations competed in the 1997 edition of the ICC Trophy. After going through two group stages, the semi-finals saw [[Kenya national cricket team|Kenya]] and [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] qualify through to the World Cup. [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland]] would be the third nation to qualify as they defeated [[Ireland national cricket team|Ireland]] in the third-place playoff.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT97/ICCT97_HEADLINES.html|title=Carlsberg ICC Trophy, Malaysia Headlines|access-date=31 July 2019}}</ref>

==Super Six==
Teams who qualified for the Super Six stage only played against the teams from the other group; results against the other teams from the same group were carried forward to this stage. Results against the non-qualifying teams were therefore discarded at this point.

As a result of League match losses against New Zealand and Pakistan, even though Australia finished second in their group, they progressed to the Super Six stage with no points carried forward (PCF). India faced similar circumstances, finishing 2nd in their group but carrying forward 0 points after losing to fellow qualifiers Zimbabwe and South Africa.

During their super six clash, Pakistan and India [[Kargil War| were officially at war]] at the time of their match, the only time this has ever happened in the history of the sport.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1245222|title=1999: When Pakistan and India went to war, on and off the field|date=18 March 2016 |access-date=19 August 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatimes.com/sports/in-1999-as-the-kargil-war-went-on-india-played-a-historic-world-cup-match-against-pakistan-322917.html|title=While Our Armies Battled In Kargil, India Faced Off Against Pakistan In A Do-Or-Die World Cup Game|date=26 July 2020 |access-date=19 August 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/world-cup-1999-india-and-pakistan-put-aside-kargil-to-battle-on-field-246287|title=World Cup 1999: India and Pakistan put aside Kargil to battle on field|date=8 February 2015 |access-date=19 August 2022}}</ref>
