The Junior Kabaddi World Cup is an indoor junior international Kabaddi competition conducted by the International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) in a standard style. In 2019, the first Junior Kabaddi World Cup was held in Iran and was won by the hosts.[1] The second edition which was also held in Iran was won by India.[2]

With the return of international kabaddi post COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 Asian Games, the IKF in 2024 announced the calendar with the third Junior Men's World Cup in 2025 and the start of the inaugural Junior Women's World Cup in 2024.[3]
