Kabaddi made its first appearance as an exhibition sport at the Asian Games in 1982.[1] Men's kabaddi has been an Asian Games event since 1990, and women's kabaddi since 2010.

India has dominated the sport at the Asian Games, winning the gold medal in both men's and women's events at all editions except for 2018, when Iran won the gold medal in both events.
