<P> England hosted the first three competitions . The ICC decided that England should host the first tournament because it was ready to devote the resources required to organising the inaugural event . India volunteered to host the third Cricket World Cup, but most ICC members preferred England as the longer period of daylight in England in June meant that a match could be completed in one day . The 1987 Cricket World Cup was held in India and Pakistan, the first hosted outside England . </P> <P> Many of the tournaments have been jointly hosted by nations from the same geographical region, such as South Asia in 1987, 1996 and 2011, Australasia in 1992 and 2015, Southern Africa in 2003 and West Indies in 2007 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Host (s) </Th> <Th> Final venue </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> Result </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Winner </Th> <Th> Margin </Th> <Th> Runner - up </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Details </Td> <Td> England </Td> <Td> London </Td> <Td> West Indies 291 / 8 (60 overs) </Td> <Td> West Indies won by 17 runs Scorecard </Td> <Td> Australia 274 all out (58.4 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1979 Details </Td> <Td> England </Td> <Td> London </Td> <Td> West Indies 286 / 9 (60 overs) </Td> <Td> West Indies won by 92 runs Scorecard </Td> <Td> England 194 all out (51 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Details </Td> <Td> England </Td> <Td> London </Td> <Td> India 183 all out (54.4 overs) </Td> <Td> India won by 43 runs Scorecard </Td> <Td> West Indies 140 all out (52 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Details </Td> <Td> India Pakistan </Td> <Td> Kolkata </Td> <Td> Australia 253 / 5 (50 overs) </Td> <Td> Australia won by 7 runs Scorecard </Td> <Td> England 246 / 8 (50 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1992 Details </Td> <Td> Australia New Zealand </Td> <Td> Melbourne </Td> <Td> Pakistan 249 / 6 (50 overs) </Td> <Td> Pakistan won by 22 runs Scorecard </Td> <Td> England 227 all out (49.2 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Details </Td> <Td> Pakistan India Sri Lanka </Td> <Td> Lahore </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka 245 / 3 (46.2 overs) </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka won by 7 wickets Scorecard </Td> <Td> Australia 241 / 7 (50 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1999 Details </Td> <Td> England Scotland Wales Ireland Netherlands </Td> <Td> London </Td> <Td> Australia 133 / 2 (20.1 overs) </Td> <Td> Australia won by 8 wickets Scorecard </Td> <Td> Pakistan 132 all out (39 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2003 Details </Td> <Td> South Africa Zimbabwe Kenya </Td> <Td> Johannesburg </Td> <Td> Australia 359 / 2 (50 overs) </Td> <Td> Australia won by 125 runs Scorecard </Td> <Td> India 234 all out (39.2 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2007 Details </Td> <Td> West Indies </Td> <Td> Bridgetown </Td> <Td> Australia 281 / 4 (38 overs) </Td> <Td> Australia won by 53 runs (D / L) Scorecard </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka 215 / 8 (36 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2011 Details </Td> <Td> India Sri Lanka Bangladesh </Td> <Td> Mumbai </Td> <Td> India 277 / 4 (48.2 overs) </Td> <Td> India won by 6 wickets Scorecard </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka 274 / 6 (50 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2015 Details </Td> <Td> Australia New Zealand </Td> <Td> Melbourne </Td> <Td> Australia 186 / 3 (33.1 overs) </Td> <Td> Australia won by 7 wickets Scorecard </Td> <Td> New Zealand 183 all out (45 overs) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2019 Details </Td> <Td> England Wales </Td> <Td> London </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2023 Details </Td> <Td> India </Td> <Td> Kolkata </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Host (s) </Th> <Th> Final venue </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> Result </Th> </Tr>
