If you're trying to find a server scoped DDL Trigger on SQL Server 2014, you should try sys.server_triggers.

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.server_triggers WHERE name = 'your trigger name')
BEGIN
    {do whatever you want here}
END

If I told tou anything incorrect, please let me know.

Edit: I didn't check for this dm on another versions of SQL Server.
