Kabaddi World Cup Winners And Runners-Up List

Kabaddi World Cup is organized in two different formats with the same nature but a few distinctions in the rules, Circle style, and Standard style.

Circle-style Kabaddi World Cup

The Circle-style Kabaddi World Cup is organized by the Government of Punjab, India. The tournament was held annually from 2010 to 2016, with the exception of 2015 due to the 2015 Guru Guru Granth Sahib desecration controversy.

The 2020 edition of the tournament took place in Lahore, Pakistan.

The Circle-style Kabaddi World Cup is played using a round-robin format with two pools of four teams each, followed by knockout stages between the top two teams from each pool.

India was six of the seven Circle-style Kabaddi World Cup, losing just one to Pakistan in 2020. Pakistan is the second most successful team with one title and four runner-up trophies.
