The '''Cricket World Cup Qualifier''' (previously called the '''ICC Trophy''' and officially known as the '''ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier''') is a [[One-Day International]] (ODI) [[cricket]] tournament that serves as the culmination of [[Cricket World Cup qualification|the qualification process]] for the [[Cricket World Cup]]. It is usually played in the year before the World Cup. Although the tournament has used a variety of different formats, a final qualification event has been a feature of every World Cup since 1979.

From 1979 to 2001, all [[List of International Cricket Council members|associate members]] of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) were eligible to participate in the ICC Trophy. Regional qualification was introduced for the [[2005 ICC Trophy]] – the final tournament to bear that name – with the [[World Cricket League]] (WCL) introduced in 2007. Until 2015, automatic qualification was granted to all full members of the ICC. However, for the [[2019 Cricket World Cup]], only the top eight teams in the [[ICC ODI Championship]] were given automatic qualification, meaning ICC full members played in the Qualifier for the first time. The WCL was discontinued in 2019, with qualification for the World Cup Qualifier instead determined by a series of leagues including the [[2020–2023 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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27384084/how-teams-secure-qualification-rank-no-1-32 |title=The road to World Cup 2023: how teams can secure qualification, from rank No. 1 to 32 |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=14 August 2019}}</ref>

The number of qualifying berths available from the World Cup Qualifier currently stands at two for the [[2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier|2023 event]], but has varied from a minimum of one (1982, 1986, 1990) to a maximum of five (2005). [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] is the most successful team, having won three consecutive titles between 1982 and 1990, while [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland]] is the only other team to have won multiple titles. Historically performance at the World Cup Qualifier has been a key determinant for elevation to full membership of the ICC and [[Test cricket|Test]] status, with [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] (1981), Zimbabwe (1992) and [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] (2000) being awarded full membership after ICC Trophy wins.

In September 2018, the ICC confirmed that all matches in the ICC World Cup Qualifier will have ODI status, regardless if a team does not have ODI status prior to the start of an individual tournament event.<ref name="ODIStatus1">{{cite web |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/846145 |title=ICC awards Asia Cup ODI status |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=9 September 2018 }}</ref><ref name="ODIStatus2">{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/24623432/all-asia-cup-matches-awarded-odi-status |title=All Asia Cup matches awarded ODI status |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=9 September 2019 }}</ref>
