Australia is considered to be the greatest team in cricket history, particularly in ICC tournaments. They have appeared in a combined total of 13 ICC finals and have emerged victorious on 10 occasions, a record that cannot be matched across formats. (WTC Final 2025 isn't included)
Here's a brief glance at their ICC Final victories:
That is, Australia has won 10 ICC trophies, the highest among any team. If they make it to a final, they are typically favorites, and for good reason. Australia losing an ICC final is so rare that fans hardly remember when it happened last. In this article, let's find out when was the last time when Australia's Men Team lost an ICC final.

When did the Australia Men's Team Last Lose an ICC Final?
The last ICC final that Australia lost was 15 years ago, in the 2010 ICC T20 World Cup final against England. The game was played in Barbados, and England won the toss and decided to field first.
Australia's top order failed to shine. Only David Hussey (59) and Cameron White (30) contributed to the team reaching 147/6 in 20 overs.
In response, England comfortably chased the target in 17 overs, with 63 by Craig Kieswetter and 47 by Kevin Pietersen. England won the match by 7 wickets and lifted their very first ICC trophy.
Now, in 2025, Australia is again in an ICC final of the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle and they are up against South Africa. With the game still in progress, there is a possibility that Australia could lose another final after a hiatus of 15 years.
