The 2015-17 ICC World Cricket League Championship (originally the Intercontinental Cup One-Day) is the second edition of a limited-overs version of the ICC Intercontinental Cup. It will run from 2015 until 2017, in parallel with the 2015-17 ICC Intercontinental Cup. Ireland and Afghanistan will not compete in the tournament as both of them have been made eligible to attempt to qualify for the 2019 World Cup directly via ODI ranking. Instead, Kenya and Nepal have been included in the tournament. The winner of this tournament will play a challenge series against the lowest ranked Associate team in the official 12-team rankings table to either remain or be promoted into the 12 team rankings table for the next cycle. The top four teams will also join the lowest ranked four teams from the ICC ODI Championship (as on September 2017) in the 2018 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier, whereas the bottom four teams will be relegated to Division Two and play with the finalists of Division Three for the remaining two spots in the 2018 CWC Qualifier.[1] The tournament will comprise a round-robin format.[2]

Matches in which both teams have ODI status will be recorded as an ODI match, whereas matches in which one or both of the teams does not have ODI status will be recorded as a List A game.
