The circle style Kabaddi World Cup is an international kabaddi competition administered by the Government of Punjab (India) contested by men's and women's national teams.[1] The competition has been contested every year since the inaugural tournament in 2010, except for 2015 due to the 2015 Guru Granth Sahib desecration controversy.[2] The women's tournament was introduced in 2013. As of October 2016, every tournament, men's and women's, has been won by India[3] except the 2020 edition, which was played in Pakistan and won by Pakistan.[4]
In opening and closing ceremonies of the Kabaddi World Cup, there are performances by Punjabi artists of India and Pakistan.[5]
The current format of the competition involves a round robin group stage, with 4 teams in 2 pools, first and second of the each group progress to the semi-finals.[6]
