The ICC Cricket World Cup Trophy is awarded to winners of the World Cup, which is held at an interval of every four years. The International Cricket Council has adopted the trophy as permanent prize for the winner of the Cricket World Cup since 1999. Australia was the first to be awarded with the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy, and the team retained it again in 2003, after defeating India in the 8th ICC Cricket World Cup Final in South Africa.
The ICC Cricket World Cup trophy was designed and manufactured by a world-famous Garrard, the Crown Jewelers, based in London, UK. Crafted in silver and gilt, the trophy measures 60-cm in height and features a golden globe held aloft by three silver columns. The globe is designed in such a fashion that it resembles a cricket ball while the columns represents stumps and bails. The trophy has been designed in platonic dimensions, in order to be viewed clearly from all angles. Valued at over £40,000, the cricket world cup trophy weighs approx. 11 kg. It also has visible engravings of name of the six previous winners on inscription plates on its base.
