Notes Notes [ edit ]

a. ^ a b Fourth place was shared because there were no finals: both teams won four of their eight matches, losing three times and drawing against each other. The
tournament rules of the time did not provide any way of determining an outright winner.
b. ^ a b c The title was shared because there were no finals: the top 10 teams played off in a round robin. Each of the top three teams won eight out of nine matches,
losing once to one of the other two. The tournament rules of the time did not provide any way of determining an outright winner.
c. ^ a b There were no finals: the top 4 teams played a round-robin tournament. Australia and Trinidad & Tobago ended the tournament with one win (against
England), one loss (to New Zealand) and one draw (with each other). The tournament rules of the time did not provide any way to break this tie.
d. ^ Suva, Fiji was scheduled to host the 2007 competition but was stripped of hosting rights following the December 2006 coup. The hosting rights were
subsequently awarded to Auckland, New Zealand, and the competition date moved from July to November 2007.
