The 1972 International Cross Country Championships was held in Cambridge, England, at the Coldhams Common on March 18, 1972. A report on the men's event was given in the Glasgow Herald.[1] This was the last competition organized by the International Cross Country Union (ICCU). The organization of the event was transferred to the IAAF as recommended as a result of the meeting of the IAAF cross-country committee that year in London. It was continued as IAAF World Cross Country Championships.[2] From then on, the event was open for all IAAF members whereas before, non-ICCU members were only allowed to compete after special invitation.
Complete results for men,[3] junior men,[4] women,[5] medallists, [6] and the results of British athletes[7] were published.
