The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup was the ninth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. It was co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States from 1 to 29 June 2024; the tournament was hosted by the West Indies for the second time, and it was also the first major ICC tournament to feature matches played in the United States.

The tournament expanded from 16 to 20 teams, including the two hosts, the top eight teams from the 2022 edition, the two highest-ranked teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings not already qualified, and eight other teams determined through regional qualifiers. Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time, while the United States participated for the first time by virtue of being co-hosts.

England were the defending champions and were beaten in the semi-finals by India, who went on to win their second T20 World Cup title, defeating South Africa by 7 runs and equalling England and West Indies with the most titles in the T20 World Cup while also becoming the first team in T20 World Cup history to win the title undefeated throughout the tournament.^[1]

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is a professional T20I tournament held between men's national cricket teams, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The tournament, now being held every two years, was first played in 2007 in South Africa.^[2] The last tournament, held in 2022 in Australia, was contested by 16 teams.^[3] The defending champions were England, who defeated Pakistan in the final of the previous edition.^[4]

In November 2021, the ICC announced that the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup would be played in the United States and the West Indies.^[5] A joint bid was submitted by Cricket West Indies and USA Cricket following two years of preparation, forming part of a strategic partnership between the two associations.^[6]

USA Cricket's co-hosting was part of efforts to help develop and promote cricket in the United States, where the sport's fanbase is primarily made up of South Asian Americans. Prior to this World Cup, the United States had occasionally hosted West Indies home matches at Central Broward Park in Florida, while a T20 franchise league known as Major League Cricket launched in 2023.^[7][8][9]

Although cricket had never become mainstream in the country, the United States is associated with several notable developments in the early history of the game, including having hosted Canada in the first international cricket match, and American cricketer Bart King having been credited with developing the technique of swing bowling.^[8][9]

The 20 qualifying teams were divided into four groups of five teams; all the five teams in a group played with all the others – for a total of ten matches – and the top two teams in each group advanced to the Super 8 stage. The advanced 8 teams were divided into two groups of four teams each based on pre-tournament seedings; all the advanced teams in an advanced group played with all the others in that group – for a total of six matches – and the top two teams in each advanced group advanced to the knockout stage.^[10] Prior to the tournament, the ICC announced the eight seeded teams for the Super 8 stage based on T20I rankings. On advancing from the group stage, they were placed in pre-determined positions in the Super 8 stage, irrespective of their position in the group stage. If an unseeded team qualified at the expense of a seeded team, it took the position of the corresponding seeded team that failed to qualify from the group.^[11][12]

On 28 July 2023, ICC announced that the tournament would be played from 4 to 30 June 2024.^[13] The revised schedule was announced on 5 January 2024, with the tournament scheduled to take place from 1 to 29 June. The teams played 55 matches with three cities in the United States hosting 12 matches and the rest of the matches hosted by six venues in the Caribbean.^[14] On 16 May 2024, ICC announced that warm-up fixtures would be held from 27 May to 1 June.^[15]

The ICC allocated a pool of US$11.25 million in prize money for the tournament. The winners would earn at least $2.45 million, the highest prize money in the history of the tournament. In addition, each team received an additional $31,154 for each match they win excluding the semi-finals and final.^[16]

The ICC hosted a "trophy tour" before the tournament which began on 19 March in New York and the trophy was taken to various locations around the world.^[17] Former cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, and Shahid Afridi as well as Olympian athlete Usain Bolt were named as the ambassadors of the tournament.^{[18][19][20][21]}

The hosts, West Indies and the United States along with the top eight teams from the 2022 tournament qualified automatically for the tournament. The remaining two automatic qualification places were taken by the best-ranked teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings which had not already qualified, as of 14 November 2022.^[22][23] The eight remaining places were filled via the ICC's regional qualifiers, consisting of two teams from Africa, Asia, and Europe and one team each from the Americas and the East Asia-Pacific groups.^[24] In May 2022, the ICC confirmed the sub-regional qualification pathways for Europe, East Asia-Pacific, and Africa.^[25]

In July 2023, Ireland and Scotland qualified from the Europe Qualifier, followed by Papua New Guinea from the East Asia-Pacific.^[26][27] Canada secured its qualification in October 2023 after winning the Americas Qualifier.^[28] The following month, Nepal and Oman qualified after reaching the final of the Asia Qualifier in Nepal.^[29] Namibia and Uganda became the final two teams to qualify after ensuring a top-two finish in the Africa Qualifier with Zimbabwe becoming the only Test-playing country that failed to qualify for the World Cup.^[30][31] Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time, while the United States also participated for the first time by virtue of being co-host.^[32][33]

In May 2023, Cricket West Indies (CWI) began a bidding process for countries in the Caribbean region willing to host the matches of the World Cup.^[35] In July 2023, the ICC shortlisted four venues in the United States, Central Broward Park in Lauderhill, Florida, Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina, Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, Texas, and a temporary stadium at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, New York City for hosting the matches.^[36] Residents of the Bronx objected to the Van Cortlandt Park stadium, citing that it would restrict public access to the park for an extended time, showed concerns for its environmental impact, and questioned the economic viability of the event.^[37][38] On 20 September 2023, the ICC announced that Grand Prairie, Lauderhill, and New York would be the three U.S. host cities, with a 34,000-seat temporary stadium to be constructed at Eisenhower Park on Long Island in Nassau County, New York. Central Broward Park and Grand Prairie Stadium were to be expanded, with temporary grandstands and hospitality areas doubling their capacity during the tournament.^{[39][40][41][42]}

On 22 September 2023, ICC announced that venues in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago would serve as the hosts in the West Indies.^[43] Grenada, Jamaica, and Saint Kitts and Nevis did not submit bids to host the World Cup, with Jamaican sports minister Olivia Grange ruling out a bid on cost grounds.^[44][45] In November 2023, it was announced that Trinidad's Queen's Park Oval, the country's most considerable cricket ground, would not be hosting any World Cup matches and that fixtures would be moved to the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in San Fernando. Nigel Camacho, the president of the Queen's Park Cricket Club, stated that the venue would instead most likely host warm-up matches before the start of the main tournament.^[46] The Government of Dominica decided to withdraw its venue, Windsor Park, from hosting any matches of the World Cup citing its inability to complete the infrastructural development of the venue before the tournament commences.^[47]

In December 2023, a delegation of representatives from the ICC undertook an inspection of the confirmed host venues in the Caribbean and the United States, so as to finalize the fixtures for the tournament. The Long Island stadium was slated to host the India–Pakistan group stage match, considered one of the largest rivalries in the sport.^[48][49] On 17 January 2024, the ICC unveiled the proposed design of the temporary New York stadium—Nassau County International Cricket Stadium—which was completed in May 2024 in time for the tournament.^[39][50] It marked the first temporary venue to have ever been used during an ICC World Cup.^[50]
