The ICC was founded 15 June 1909 at Lord's Cricket Ground as the Imperial Cricket Conference by Australia, England and Wales, and South Africa. It was renamed the International Cricket Conference in 1964 and the International Cricket Council in 1989, and relocated headquarters from London to Dubai in 2005. It now has 111 member nations, of which 12 hold full membership. The chairman role was created in 2014, and the presidency was abolished in 2016. In 2017 Afghanistan and Ireland became the eleventh and twelfth full members, and the ICC abolished its affiliate membership tier, converting all remaining affiliates to associate members.

What does the ICC not control in cricket?
The ICC does not run bilateral series, domestic cricket or the laws of the game, which belong to the Marylebone Cricket Club.
The ICC organises and governs international tournaments such as the World Cups and the World Test Championship, but it does not control bilateral fixtures between member countries, apart from the World Test Championship final, and it does not control domestic cricket within its member countries. It also does not make or alter the laws of the game, which have remained under the governance of the Marylebone Cricket Club since 1788.
