ICC World Cricket League Division Eight is the lowest global division of the World Cricket League (WCL) system. Like all other divisions, WCL Division Eight is contested as a standalone tournament rather than as an actual league.
The inaugural Division Eight tournament was held in 2010, hosted and won by Kuwait. The 2012 tournament was hosted by Samoa and won by Vanuatu. The 2010 and 2012 are the only editions to have been held so far, with both featuring eight teams who qualified via regional events. Vanuatu, Bhutan, and Suriname were the only teams to participate in both tournaments. Another Division Eight tournament will not be held until after the conclusion of the 2012–18 WCL cycle.
