In the past decade, cosmology has had one of the most exciting periods in the last century. The precision with which we have been able to measure cosmological parameters has increased tremendously. Here, I review the recent measurements of the expansion rate, geometry, age, large scale structure formation, dark matter and equation of state (dark energy) of the Universe, and discuss implications for our understanding of the Universe as a whole. A decade ago, the uncertainties in the measurement of cosmological parameters were such that few definitive statements could be made regarding the validity of the different cosmological models. That situation has changed drastically and today all observables have converged to a single cosmological model. The simple "Einstein-de Sitter" model, the preferred model of the previous millennium, is now dead. The model that has survived the test of the recent high-quality observations is rather complicated and it poses many questions for fundamental Physics.
