The ICC Champions Trophy, also known as the "mini World Cup," is one of the most thrilling tournaments in cricket. Played in the ODI format, it brings together the best teams from around the world in a high-voltage battle for glory.

It all kicked-off in 1998 when the tournament was introduced as the ICC KnockOut Trophy. The idea was to raise funds to grow cricket in non-Test-playing nations. Unlike the World Cup which goes on for weeks, the Champions Trophy is fast-paced and intense, featuring only the top-ranked teams.

Over the years, this tournament has produced some unforgettable moments, last-over thrillers, legendary performances, and epic finals. Let’s take a closer look into the complete list of Champions Trophy winners, runners-up, and final venues from each edition.
