The Kabaddi World Cup, is an indoor international kabaddi tournament conducted by the International Kabaddi Federation. It follows the standard style and is contested by men's and women's national teams. The format involves a round-robin group stage, including 5 teams in 2 pools, with the first and second place finishers of each group progressing to the semi-finals.

With the return of international kabaddi post the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 Asian Games, the IKF announced the resumption of the Men's World Cup in 2025 and Women's World Cup in 2026.[1]
