The 2007 Cricket World Cup will be hosted by the West Indies, March - April, 2007. It will consist of 16 nations divided into 4 groups of 4 teams. The top two teams from each group will then compete in a "Super 8" format, similar to the previous "Super 6" format, from which the semi-finalists will be decided.

Many people expected that some of the games would be played in the United States at a newly built cricket ground in Lauderhill, Florida, specifically to help promote and develop cricket in that country, but the International Cricket Council decided to award all matches to Caribbean nations. The internal disputes within American cricket did not help its bid. Bids from Bermuda, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and a second bid by Jamaica were also rejected.
