The 2007 Cricket World Cup will be hosted by the West Indies from March 11 to April 28, 2007. It will be contested by 16 nations divided into 4 groups of 4 teams.

The top two teams from each group will then compete in a "Super 8" format, similar to the previous "Super 6" format, from which the semi-finalists will be decided. There will be fifty one matches, which is less than the 2003 World Cup, despite the two extra teams taking part. The day after each match is a scheduled reserve day, to allow for weather and other interruptions. Jamaica will host the Opening Ceremony on 11 March.
