The 2025 season of the IFSC Climbing World Cup was the 26th season of the competition. Bouldering competitions were held at six stops of the IFSC Climbing World Cup. The bouldering season began on April 18 at the World Cup in Keqiao, and concluded on June 29 with the World Cup in Innsbruck. At each stop a qualifying was held on the first day of the competition, and the semi-final and final rounds were conducted on the second day of the competition. The winners were awarded trophies, and the best three finishers received medals. At the end of the season an overall ranking was determined based upon points, which athletes were awarded for finishing in the top 40 of each individual event.
Oriane Bertone won the women's season title. The men's season title went to Sorato Anraku while Japan defended its title in the national teams competition.

Curitiba, Brazil (16-18 May)

Men 56 athletes attended the World Cup in Curitiba. Keqiao winner Sorato Anraku dominated the semi-final, topping all four boulders and getting the only top on the technical fourth boulder. A low-scoring final round saw only Sorato Anraku (69.7) and Mejdi Schalck (58.9) topping boulders. Anraku won the competition, earning his second consecutive gold medal in the 2025 Boulder season. He was the only athlete to make it to the top of the third boulder. Schalck was the only athlete to top the fourth boulder. However, missing the crucial zone on the third boulder and making more attempts than Anraku left him to settle for silver.

Zélia Avezou (70.0) won Silver over Anastasia Sanders (70.0) by virtue of her better semi-final score.

Mejdi Schalck (99.1) won the competition in front of Sorato Anraku (84.1). The men's final received significant backlash from netizens for its parkour style, achieving little separation, particularly on the first and third boulders — all finalists topped the first boulder and only Peharc did not top the third boulder. Anraku and Samuel Richard (84.1) had identical final scores. Anraku was awarded the silver medal by virtue of his better semi-final performance.
