Curitiba, Brazil (16-18 May)

Women

44 athletes attended the World Cup in Curitiba — the first World Cup held in South America. The find round saw few tops on the fourth boulder — only the medallists topped it. ^[9] Naïlé Meignan (99.6) won the competition, flashing 3 of the 4 final boulders. Oriane Bertone (99.5) came in second by virtue of having used one attempt more than Meignan in the final. Curitiba 2025 marked Meignan's first World Cup win. ^{[10] [11]}

Men

56 athletes attended the World Cup in Curitiba. Keqiao winner Sorato Anraku dominated the semi-final, topping all four boulders and getting the only top on the technical fourth boulder. A low-scoring final round saw only Sorato Anraku (69.7) and Mejdi Schalck (58.9) topping boulders. Anraku won the competition, earning his second consecutive gold medal in the 2025 Boulder season. He was the only athlete to make it to the top of the third boulder. Schalck was the only athlete to top the fourth boulder. However, missing the crucial zone on the third boulder and making more attempts than Anraku left him to settle for silver. ^{[12] [11]}

Zélia Avezou (70.0) won Silver over Anastasia Sanders (70.0) by virtue of her better semi-final score.

77 athletes attended the World Cup in Prague. The women's final in Prague was cancelled due to windy weather conditions and the inability to ensure the safety of the athletes and spectators. ^[18] The final results were based on semi-final standings instead. Oriane Bertone (84.8) won the competition, repeating her win in Prague last year.

Mejdi Schalck (99.1) won the competition in front of Sorato Anraku (84.1). The men's final received significant backlash from netizens for its parkour style, achieving little separation, particularly on the first and third boulders — all finalists topped the first boulder and only Peharc did not top the third boulder. Anraku and Samuel Richard (84.1) had identical final scores. Anraku was awarded the silver medal by virtue of his better semi-final performance. ^{[20] [21]}

Innsbruck, Austria (25-29 June)

Women

79 athletes attended the World Cup in Innsbruck. This marked Janja Garnbret's first World Cup appearance since Koper last year. Bern winner Erin McNeice failed to advance past the semi-final round. Going into the third boulder of the final, Garnbret and Anon Matsufuji topped boulders one and two while the other finalists had all failed to top the second boulder.

Oriane Bertone (69.8) came in second and Matsufuji (59.5) finished third, her first podium since Hachioji two years before. ^{[27] [28]}
