The ICC Cricket World Cup Trophy is presented to the winners of the Cricket World Cup. The current trophy was created for the 1999 championships and was the first permanent prize in the tournament's history; prior to this, different trophies were made for each World Cup.[1] The trophy was designed by Paul Marsden of Garrard & co and produced in London by a team of craftsmen from Garrard & Co over a period of two months. The trophy is now manufactured by Otte will Silversmiths in Ashford.[2]
The trophy has changed five times, with the current trophy being the tournament's permanent prize since the 1999 Cricket World Cup. Australia, the tournament's most successful team with six wins, are the latest winners of the trophy, having defeated India in the final. Australia have also won the latest trophy the most times (five).
The original trophy is kept by the ICC. A replica which only differs in inscriptions is permanently awarded to the winning team.[3][4]
