The Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket was a One Day International tournament held from 17 February to 10 March 1985 in Australia and won by India.
The tournament was part of the celebrations commemorating the 150th anniversary of European settlement in Victoria. All of the then Test match playing teams participated with matches played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sydney Cricket Ground. The tournament saw the first matches played under lights at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
India were the reigning World Cup holders, having defeated West Indies in the 1983 World Cup final, but the bookmakers installed West Indies as favourites.
