'''ICC World Cricket League Division Four''' forms part of the [[World Cricket League|World Cricket League (WCL)]] system. Like all other divisions, WCL Division Four is contested as a standalone tournament rather than as an actual league.

The inaugural Division Four tournament was held [[2008 ICC World Cricket League Division Four|in 2008]], hosted by [[Tanzania]]. Subsequent tournaments have been held [[2010 ICC World Cricket League Division Four|in 2010]] (in Italy), [[2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Four|2012]] (in Malaysia), [[2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Four|2014]] (in Singapore), and [[2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Four|2016]] (in the United States). Both the number of teams (six) and tournament format ([[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] followed by playoffs) have remained unchanged between editions. Because the WCL operates on a system of [[promotion and relegation]], teams generally only participate in one or two Division Four tournaments before being either promoted to [[ICC World Cricket League Division Three|Division Three]] or relegated to [[ICC World Cricket League Division Five|Division Five]]. In total, sixteen teams have played in at least one Division Four tournament. [[Afghanistan national cricket team|Afghanistan]] and [[Hong Kong national cricket team|Hong Kong]], the inaugural Division Four finalists, have gone on to much greater success, both currently holding [[One Day International]] (ODI) status.
