Wrestling World Cup is an international wrestling competition among teams representing member nations of the United World Wrestling (UWW) the sport's global governing body. The cups have been conducted by FILA (the UWW predecessor) every year since the 1973 tournament. The World Cup began as a dual-meet competition for the top teams on each continent, but now features the top teams in the rankings of the previous year's world championships.[3]

Two individual competitions under the same name were held in 1956 and 1958 before establishing the current World Cup comeptition in 1973.[4] Besides that, the UWW had another competition called the Individual World Cup as a replacement event for the 2020 World Cup Championships.
