The Cricket World Cup in 1975 (aka Prudential Cup, 1975) was the first edition of the tournament. It was held from June 7 to June 21, 1975 in England. 8 countries participated in the event. The preliminary matches were played in 2 groups of 4 each. The top two teams in each group played the semifinals, whose winners played the final.

The matches played consisted of 60 overs per team and were played in traditional white uniform and red balls. They were all played during the day and hence started early.
