Canada played at the 1979 World Cup, again in 2003, 2007 and 2011, and have since spent most of the schedule in the associate qualifier tier. The archive covers every match.

Origins

Canada played at the 1979 Cricket World Cup, four years after East Africa and Sri Lanka had appeared as associates in 1975. They returned for 2003, 2007 and 2011 through the qualifier pathway.

The three World Cups

The 2003 tournament was the peak: six group-stage matches, one win over Bangladesh, and the associate pathway retained. The 2011 win over Kenya was Canada’s last World Cup victory to date.

Home and away

Canada have played 30 ODIs at home and 83 away. Home: 9 wins to 18 losses; away 20 wins to 62 losses. King City has hosted 22 of the home matches and Toronto the other 8.

Rivalries

Kenya at 15 ODIs (5 wins to 9), Scotland at 14 (4 wins to 10), Netherlands at 13 (1 win to 10) and Bermuda at 11 (6 wins to 5) fill the associate rivalries.

Recent form

Canada’s 2020s: 36 ODIs, 12 won. The 2024 T20 World Cup was co-hosted with the USA; ODI status remains in the CWC League 2 pathway.
