The 2001 ICC Trophy was a cricket tournament played in Ontario, Canada in 2001. It was the Cricket World Cup qualification tournament for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. Three spots in the World Cup were on offer and the Netherlands, host nation Canada and for the first time, Namibia qualified. Scotland failed to qualify after losing in the 3rd place play-off and finishing fourth. The Netherlands won the final against Namibia.

By then, Bangladesh had been promoted to full Test and ODI status and did not take part in this competition. Kenya had also gained full ODI status, so both countries qualified for the 2003 Cricket World Cup automatically.
