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.

Previous events were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), and Dubai (2008), with Johannesburg also hosting in 2007.

Selection Committee
Chaired by ICC Cricket Hall of Famer Clive Lloyd, the ICC Selection Committee was responsible for two main tasks: selecting the ICC World XI Teams and providing a long list of nominations for individual player award categories to the 25 members of the voting academy. They used their experience, knowledge, and appreciation of the game to do so.
