{{Main|2003 Cricket World Cup squads}}
Fourteen teams played in the 2003 World Cup, the largest number of teams to play in a Cricket World Cup at the time. The 10 [[Test cricket|Test]] playing nations automatically qualified for the tournament including the recently appointed member [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]], while [[Kenya national cricket team|Kenya]] also qualified automatically due to their full [[One Day International]] status. The other three spots were filled by the top three teams in the [[2001 ICC Trophy]] in Canada, which served as a qualifying tournament. These teams were, respectively, the [[Netherlands national cricket team|Netherlands]] who won the ICC Trophy, [[Canada national cricket team|Canada]] and [[Namibia national cricket team|Namibia]]. This was Namibia's World Cup debut, while the Netherlands and Canada were both appearing in the tournament for the second time, having previously appeared in [[1996 Cricket World Cup|1996]] and [[1979 Cricket World Cup|1979]] respectively.

The format used in the 1999 World Cup was retained, with the 14 teams divided into two groups of seven, and the top three from each group qualifying for the Super Sixes stage, carrying forward the results they had achieved against other qualifiers from their group. The top four teams in the Super Sixes qualified for the semi-finals, and the winners of those matches contested the final.
