The 2025 Kabaddi World Cup was the second edition of the Kabaddi World Cup held under the authority of World Kabaddi. It was hosted in the West Midlands, England, during 17–23 March 2025. There were both men's and women's competitions in the tournament.

As the event was being held, the International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) issued a statement clarifying that the event was not authorised by the IKF and the outcome would not be recognised by the Olympic Council of Asia, the Asian Kabaddi Federation (AKF), or the Asian Games.

The India team won both the men's and women's World Kabaddi championship events, with England as the runner-up in both cases.
