Like 2021, the 2025 World Cup was to have run the men's, women's and wheelchair world cups simultaneously, in addition to a youth World Cup.
Originally due to be staged in the USA and Canada, the offer was withdrawn due to financial concerns, hosting was subsequently awarded to France. In May 2023 the French organisers pulled out of hosting the games. On 3 August 2023 the tournaments were cancelled by the sport's governing body with the announcement that a new reduced-size tournament would take place in the southern hemisphere in 2026.
