                     (To Prospectus Dated November 29, 2001)

                                 $1,010,834,000

                                 XL CAPITAL LTD
                   Zero-Coupon Convertible Debentures Due 2021
                   Exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares of
                                 XL CAPITAL LTD



                  This Prospectus Supplement supplements information contained
in that certain Prospectus dated November 29, 2001, as amended or supplemented,
relating to the potential sale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders
of up to $1,010,834,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Zero-Coupon
Convertible Debentures due 2021 (the "Debentures") of XL Capital Ltd, a Cayman
Islands exempted limited company, issued in a private transaction on May 23,
2001 and Class A Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.01 each, of XL Capital Ltd (the
"Ordinary Shares"), issuable upon exchange of the Debentures. The Debentures are
being offered for the account of the holders thereof or by their transferees,
pledgees, donees or successors. This Prospectus Supplement is not complete
without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the
Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. Capitalized terms
used herein but not defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Prospectus.

                  The information contained in the table set forth in the
Prospectus under the caption "Selling Securityholders" shall be deleted and
replaced in its entirety with the information set forth below with respect to
the Selling Securityholders, the respective principal amount at maturity of
Debentures owned by the Selling Securityholders, and the respective principal
amount of Debentures offered by the Selling Securityholders hereby. Unless
otherwise indicated, none of the Selling Securityholders has, or within the past
three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with XL
Capital Ltd or any of its affiliates. Because the Selling Securityholders may
offer all or some portion of their Debentures or the Ordinary Shares issued upon
exchange of their Debentures, pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement, no
estimate can be given as to the amount of the Debentures or the Ordinary Shares
issued upon exchange of the Debentures that will be held by the Selling
Securityholders upon termination of any sales. In addition, the Selling
Securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of all or a portion of their Debentures, or the Ordinary Shares issued
upon exchange of their Debentures, since the date on which they provided the
information regarding their Debentures, in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.



                                      -2-

                  Unless otherwise indicated, each Selling Securityholder is
offering all Debentures beneficially owned by them pursuant to this Prospectus
Supplement. No securityholder may offer their Debentures, or the Ordinary Shares
issued upon exchange of their Debentures, pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement
until the securityholder is named as a Selling Securityholder in this Prospectus
Supplement or in another supplement to the Prospectus.

(1)      Assumes conversion of all of the holder's Debentures at a conversion
         rate of 5.9467 Ordinary Shares per $1,000 principal amount at maturity
         of the Debentures. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment,
         however, as described under "Description of the Debentures--Conversion
         Rights." As a result, the number of our Ordinary Shares issuable upon
         conversion of the Debentures may increase or decrease in the future.
         Does not include our Ordinary Shares that may be issued by us upon
         purchase of the Debentures by us at the option of the holder.

(2)      Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using
         135,841,086 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of November 4, 2002. In
         calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the
         number of our Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all of that
         holder's Debentures, but we did not assume conversion of any other
         holder's Debentures. Does not include our Ordinary Shares that may be
         issued by us upon purchase of the Debentures by us at the option of the
         holder.

(3)      Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in
         prospectus supplements, if required.

(4)      Assumes that any other holders of Debentures, or any future pledgees,
         donees, assignees, transferees or successors of or from any such other
         holders of Debentures, do not beneficially own any of our Ordinary
         Shares other than the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the
         Debentures at the initial conversion rate.
