The 2009 ICC Awards were held on 1 October 2009 in Johannesburg, South Africa before the semi-finals of the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy. The nominations were announced in Mumbai in early September, and short lists were announced on 15 September. These awards recognized player performance between 13 August 2008 and 24 August 2009, and were presented in association with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA). Performances from both players and officials during this period were considered.
The ICC had hosted the ICC Awards since the 2004 and were now in their sixth year. Previous events were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), and Dubai (2008), with Johannesburg also hosting in 2007. The awards include the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for Cricketer of the Year, which is considered the most prestigious award in world cricket.ICC
