2009 Archery World Cup

The 2009 Archery World Cup was the fourth edition of the Archery World Cup, organised by the World Archery Federation. The first three hosts of the qualification legs remained the same as in 2008, with the first leg was held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the second leg in Porec, Croatia, the third at Antalya Centennial Archery Field in Antalya, Turkey. The final leg was held in Shanghai.

This was the first edition of the world cup where the mixed team events were contested at the final, with the top ranked mixed teams competing against a host country team in a one match final.

The compound legs consisted of a 50m qualification round of 72 arrows, followed by the compound round at 50m on a 6-zone target face, using cumulative scoring for all individual, team and mixed competitions. The top four individual performers (with no more than two from each country) proceeded to the finals.

The recurve legs consisted of a FITA qualification round, followed by an 72m Olympic set system . The top seven individual performers (with no more than two from each country), plus one host nation representative if not already qualified, proceeded to the finals; the top mixed team performer proceeded to face the host nation at the finals, which were the same competition format as the legs. The team competition was not competed at the finals.
