Champions Trophy winners and runners up list

The first ever International Cricket Council (ICC) event in 2025 is the eight-nation Champions Trophy tournament. Pakistan won the last tournament in 2017 by beating India in the finals to make it to the Champions Trophy winners list for the first time. Fakhar Zaman scored a century as Pakistan won the contest by a massive margin of 180 runs. 

The tournament, which began in 1998, saw nine teams take part, with Bangladesh hosting the competition. In 2000, the tournament saw 11 teams take part before the ICC decided to change the format. By the time the third edition was played, 12 teams had taken part in the 2002 and 2004 editions of the mini-World Cup. 

India hosted the event in 2006, which saw ten teams play before yet another format saw the competition being pruned to eight teams. This year, former winners like Sri Lanka and the West Indies aren’t part of the tournament because they failed to qualify. England’s win over Pakistan in their final game of the 2023 ODI World Cup secured their place in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
