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][_needs update_] The women's tournament was introduced in 2013. 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]
