List of Men's T20 World Cup tournaments

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup, formerly the ICC World Twenty20, is a biennial world cup for cricket in Twenty20 International (T20I) format, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was held in every odd year from 2007 to 2009, and since 2010 has been held in every even year with the exception of 2018 and 2020. In 2018, the tournament was rebranded from World Twenty20 to Men's T20 World Cup.

As of the 2024 tournament, twenty-four nations have played in the T20 World Cup. Nine teams have competed in every tournament, six of which have won the title. West Indies, England and India have won the title twice each, while Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia have won the title once each. Sri Lanka, England, Pakistan and India have each made three final appearances, while Pakistan have also made six semi-final appearances. ^{[1] [2]} The best result by a non-Test playing nation is the Super 8 appearance by the United States in 2024, ^[3] while the worst result by a Test playing nation is the Super 12 appearance by Zimbabwe in 2022. ^[4]

No teams have yet won the tournament as hosts; the best performance by a host nation is runners-up by Sri Lanka in 2012. No title winners have yet defended their title in the following edition; the best performance by a defending champion is the semi-final appearances by Pakistan, West Indies and England in 2010, 2014 and 2024 respectively. Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados is the only venue to have hosted more than one final (2010 and 2024). ^[5] All Test playing nations made their debuts in the inaugural edition with the exception of Ireland and Afghanistan who made their debuts in the 2009 and 2010 editions respectively. Kenya and Scotland were the only non-Test playing nations to be featured in the inaugural edition. ^[6]
