  The International Linear Collider Technical Design Report (TDR) describes in
four volumes the physics case and the design of a 500 GeV centre-of-mass energy
linear electron-positron collider based on superconducting radio-frequency
technology using Niobium cavities as the accelerating structures. The
accelerator can be extended to 1 TeV and also run as a Higgs factory at around
250 GeV and on the Z0 pole. A comprehensive value estimate of the accelerator
is give, together with associated uncertainties. It is shown that no
significant technical issues remain to be solved. Once a site is selected and
the necessary site-dependent engineering is carried out, construction can begin
immediately. The TDR also gives baseline documentation for two high-performance
detectors that can share the ILC luminosity by being moved into and out of the
beam line in a "push-pull" configuration. These detectors, ILD and SiD, are
described in detail. They form the basis for a world-class experimental
programme that promises to increase significantly our understanding of the
fundamental processes that govern the evolution of the Universe.
