Shockingly the 1975 men’s cricket world cup wasn’t the first world cup
shockingly the 1975 inaugural men’s ODl Cricket World Cup was not actually the first ever cricket world cup, noticeably two years prior in 1973 England hosted the inaugural women’s cricket world cup. First played in 1973, two years before the inaugural men’s World Cup, the Women’s ODI Cricket World Cup is the oldest global event in the sport. In what was a seven-team inaugural edition, hosts England edged out rivals Australia to clinch the first-ever ICC tournament.
