The 2025 Bowls World Cup organised by World Bowls was the inaugural edition of the Bowls World Cup held from 4 to 8 November 2025 at the Bukit Kiara Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It was contested between bowlers from the world's 12 leading ranked nations and is regarded as the third most important bowls event of the calendar behind the World Bowls Championship and Commonwealth Games.
The first venue consisted of four 36 metre indoor portable rinks, with covered carpet. An indoor location was chosen because of the similarities that the Bowls at the 2026 Commonwealth Games will experience.
