Australia, China, France and the United States are among countries to have helped prepare the nine Caribbean nations set to host the World Cup starting next month.

ICC World Cup managing director Chris Dehring said on Wednesday that India, Canada, South Africa and Britain were also among the countries to have helped with issues including security and renovation of venues.

Ann Jackson, World Cup coordinator for the US Embassy in Barbados, said the United States has contributed about $US3 million ($A3.82 million) in specialised training, including port security and bomb detection.

Jackson said the US has also helped set up a database that will check travellers' names against criminal watch lists.

"We anticipate that this project will be one of the legacies of the cricket World Cup," she said.

Interpol and the United States agreed to provide information to help Caribbean countries filter potential security risks from the tens of thousands expected for the March 13-April 28 tournament.

French and British law enforcement officials will help with security during the event.

Security forces activated for the tournament will include 70 officers from South Africa trained in bomb and nuclear materials detection.
