The event which was announced on 31st March 2025 is an exclusive black-tie event which promises to be a historic celebration, marking 50 years since the West Indies’ iconic 1975 Cricket World Cup triumph – a landmark victory that transformed the Caribbean presence in world sport. The event will also celebrate the region’s finest cricketing achievements over the past year spotlighting excellence across multiple categories, including the coveted Test Player of the Year, Men’s and Women ODI Player of the Year, Men’s and Women’s T20 Player of the year.
For the first time, a limited number of tickets have been released to the public for this typically invitation-only event. Priced at $350.00 USD, each ticket includes full access to the gala evening and formal dinner. Seating is extremely limited, and tickets are available now at www.windiescricket.com.
“The 1975 World Cup triumph was more than a sporting victory—it was a defining moment for both the Caribbean and the world game,” said Chris Dehring, CEO of Cricket West Indies. “It signaled the beginning of an unmatched era of West Indian dominance and inspired the growth and development of a new, limited overs format. This gala honours that legacy, while celebrating today’s heroes who carry that flame forward. For a limited number of lucky fans, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rub shoulders with cricket history”.
A highlight of the gala will be a tribute to the 1975 World Cup champions, featuring appearances by surviving members of the squad, archival video retrospectives, and commemorative presentations.
