The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is the Twenty20 International cricket tournament, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2007.
The event has generally been held every two years.
. . .
In June 2021, the ICC announced that the T20 World Cup tournaments in 2024, 2026, 2028, and 2030 will be expanded to include 20 teams. The teams will be divided into 4 groups (5 per group), with the top two teams from each group advancing to the Super Eights. They will be divided into two groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals.
The 2024 T20 World Cup is currently being hosted by the West Indies and the United States. It is the first time the US has hosted a World Cup, with multiple stadiums across the country either being newly built or repurposed for cricket. The 2026 tournament will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, with the 2028 edition in Australia and New Zealand, as well as the 2030 tournament in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland following.

USA make history after Florida washout
The United States' T20 World Cup group match against Ireland in Lauderhill, Florida was washed out on Friday, ensuring the co-hosts' progress to the Super Eight knockout stage at the expense of former champions Pakistan.

This no-result means the USA have reached the Super 8 stage in their first World Cup, eliminating Pakistan, Ireland and Canada in the process. They are also guaranteed a place at the next T20 World Cup in 2026.
