New Zealand Cricket World Cup record: How many times have Black Caps won the ODI WC?

Widely regarded to be one of the most competitive teams in the world, you would think that New Zealand would have won the ODI World Cup at least once.

Despite being one of the six teams to have played in all the World Cup editions, they are yet to get across the finish line.
