The CWC League 2 tournament offers a qualification route to the 2027 ODI World Cup to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Of the 14 teams that will play in the main tournament, ten full member teams advance based on qualification and host status, and the other four through a qualification process. The CWC League 2 is an eight-team competition that takes place over three years. The top four teams advance to a World Cup qualifier.
The qualifier is a ten-team event, made up of the two lowest-ranked full members in the ODI rankings (apart from South Africa and Zimbabwe, whose rankings do not matter), the top four teams from CWC League 2, and the top four teams from a World Cup qualifying playoff. Of these ten teams, the first four advance to the World Cup.
Currently, the United States leads the CWC League 2 points table after having played 24 matches.
