International cricket in 2009–10

The 2009–10 international cricket season was between September 2009 and March 2010. Australia had a very successful season that included winning the ICC Champions Trophy and a home season in which they were undefeated against the touring West Indies and Pakistan.

2009 ICC Champions Trophy
The 2009 ICC Champions Trophy was scheduled to take place in the 2008–09 season in Pakistan, but because of an unstable security situation, it was rescheduled for the 2009–10 season. The hosting rights were also moved from Pakistan to South Africa. Sri Lanka was considered as a potential host, but was discarded due to worries related to the weather during that time of the year in Sri Lanka.

Australia in India
Australia played seven ODIs in India from 25 October to 11 November 2009. The seven ODIs complemented the Test series that took place between the two nations in 2008 in India.

Pakistan in New Zealand
Although being played in New Zealand, this is a "home" series for Pakistan.
