The 2012 Archery World Cup was the 7th edition of the annual international archery circuit, organised by the World Archery Federation. As 2012 was an Olympic year, the World Cup consisted of three, not four legs. The best individual and mixed performers in each discipline over the three legs then joined host representatives in qualifying for the finals.
After failing to be selected for the Korean Olympic team, Kim Woo-jin defeated defending champion Brady Ellison in a one arrow shoot-off to win the men's individual recurve world cup final for the second time, while fellow Korean Ki Bo-bae defeated top seed Deepika Kumari to add her first world cup victory to her Olympic title.
In the compound discipline, Braden Gellenthien and Jamie van Natta produced the second consecutive United States clean sweep, while the United States topped the nations ranking for the third consecutive year.
