[5] At the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) congress at the 2019 World Wushu Championships, it was decided that the 3rd Taolu World Cup would be held in Tokyo, Japan from November 14 to 19, 2020.

Previously, Japan had only hosted three prior major international wushu competitions with the most recent being the wushu event at the 2001 East Asian Games.

On April 20, 2020, the IWUF announced that the 3rd Taolu World Cup would be postponed to 2022 after a request from the local organizing committee.

[1] The invitational tournament was organized because several countries had visa issues while trying to participate in the previous world championships.
