The 2019 Kabaddi World Cup was the inaugural (and thus far the only) National (Asian) style tournament held by World Kabaddi. It was originally scheduled to be contested from 2 to 15 April 2019 in Melaka, Malaysia. However, the tournament was postponed and held from July 20–28 with fewer teams participating.
Competition was held for both the men and women's categories. Powerhouse India became double champions, grabbing both the titles at stake.
The COVID-19 pandemic began after this 2019 event, and World Kabaddi did not hold any additional "World Cup" events until the March 2025 event in West Midlands, England.
