The ICC Men's T20 World Cup (formerly the ICC World Twenty20) is a biennial Twenty20 International cricket tournament, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) every 2 years since it's inauguration in 2007 with the exception of 2011, 2018 and 2020. This event was rebranded from ICC World Twenty20 to ICC Men's T20 World Cup in November 2018.

The 2011 edition of the tournament was preponed to 2010 due to its replacement with the ICC Champions Trophy 2010. This scheduling bottleneck was caused after the Champions Trophy 2008, scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan was delayed and shifted to South Africa in 2009 due to security reasons.

In May 2016, the ICC put forward the idea of having a tournament in 2018, with South Africa being the possible host, but the ICC later dropped the idea of a 2018 edition as the top member nations busied with bilateral commitments in 2018.
