2017 ICC World Cricket League Division Three was a cricket tournament that took place in Uganda between 23 and 30 May 2017. [1] The matches took place in Lugogo, Kyambogo and Entebbe. [2] The top two teams, Oman and Canada, were promoted to Division Two. [3] The final ended as a no result due to rain, and therefore Oman won the tournament by virtue of finishing top of the group stage table. [4]

Three countries bid to host the tournament – Canada, Malaysia, and Uganda. [5] In October 2016, the International Cricket Council (ICC) approved a proposal for the tournament to be held in Uganda, subject to security arrangements and costs. [6] Two ICC officials toured the country in December 2016, meeting with the country's First Lady, Janet Museveni, and Prime Minister, Ruhakana Rugunda. Museveni pledged government support for the tournament. [5]
