The Table Tennis World Cup has been held annually since 1980. There had only been men's singles until the start of women's singles in 1996 and team competitions in 1990. The competitions are sanctioned by the International Table Tennis Federation.{{Cite web |url=http://www.ittf.com/ittf_ranking/pdfs/2010b_WR_events.pdf |title=Policy for inclusion in the ITTF World Ranking |access-date=2010-06-23 |format=PDF |work=ITTF |publisher=ITTF |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110112030004/http://www.ittf.com/ittf_ranking/pdfs/2010b_WR_events.pdf |archive-date=2011-01-12}}

In the years 2021–2023, the event has been suspended. A new WTT event, WTT Cup Finals, began in 2021, which is the season-ending championship of the WTT. WTT stated that the winners of the WTT Cup Finals would win the prestigious ITTF World Cup trophies in March 2021, but the winners have been actually presented with WTT Cup Finals specific trophies since the inaugural edition, and the event has been renamed to simply WTT Finals since 2023, making it a pure season-ending event.

ITTF World Cup returned with an innovative mixed team format in 2023 in Chengdu, and ITTF Singles World Cup returned in 2024, in Macao, China.
