World Cup contests are considered as FAI second category events based on individual participation (no national team representing a NAC). Any person holding a valid FAI Sporting Licence or FAI Drone Permission can be eligible for the World Cup ranking.

Two Challenger World Cup contests may be organized every year for any country. For a country which extends over more than three time zones, one Challenger World Cup contest may be organized within each time zone of the country with a maximum of four events for the country.

After cancellation or postponement to 2022 of different events due to Covid restrictions and/or lack of foreign competitors participating, 5 Challenger World Cup contests from 4 different countries are planned for 2021.
