4th World Taolu Cup 2026

* 04 Jun 2026 – 09 Jun 2026 Haikou, China *

From 4 to 9 July, Haikou hosts the 4th Wushu Taolu World Cup at the Wuyuan River Gymnasium, the indoor arena inside the Wuyuan River Sports Centre.
Hainan tourism authorities call it the highest-grade international wushu event the province has staged, and the first top-tier single-discipline wushu competition to land here under the Free Trade Port.
This is not an open tournament. The World Cup is one of six official events run by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF), normally held every two years, with entry reserved for the top eight finishers at the World Championships.
The field is small and elite by design: around 110 athletes from an anticipated 28 to 30 countries and regions across five continents (figures organisers won’t finalise until competition opens), competing in 22 men’s and women’s events across four categories (barehand forms, long weapons, short weapons, and duilian, or choreographed sparring) for 22 gold medals. Organisers note it is the first time the World Cup has returned to China since the inaugural 2016 edition in Fuzhou.
