2016 Asia Kabaddi Cup was the third season of the Asia Kabaddi Cup (circle style) hosted by Pakistan[1] which commenced from May 2, 2016, in Pakistan Ordnance Factory Sports Complex, Wah Cantt.[2] The last match of this event was played on May 6.[3][4] The event was broadcast live on PTV Sports.

The five Asian Kabaddi teams that came to play in this event were Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Iran, and Sri Lanka.[5] The match between Pakistan and India (last match of the league) ended 50–31 in favor of Pakistan. Since both teams were undefeated going into that match, it functioned as the "Final." Iran solidified their status as the third-best team in Asia by defeating Afghanistan.
