The 2009 ICC World Cricket League Division Three was a cricket tournament that took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 24 to 31 January 2009. It formed part of the ICC World Cricket League and qualifying for the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
Afghanistan won the tournament, with Uganda coming in second. Both teams qualified for the 2011 World Cup qualification tournament. Afghanistan and Uganda each won four matches and lost one, as did Papua New Guinea; the rankings tie was broken by net run rate.
Papua New Guinea were the first to reach four wins, as Afghanistan and Uganda both had their fifth matches abandoned due to rain and had to replay them the next day. The rain also resulted in the cancellation of the finals round ranking matches (which would not affect promotion or relegation in any case), and the group round result table was the final standings.[1]
