2021 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series
The 2021 FIG World Cup circuit in Artistic Gymnastics is a series of competitions officially organized and promoted by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) in 2021. A number of events were originally scheduled to take place in 2020 and serve as opportunities for gymnasts to earn points towards Olympic qualification. However, the organization of many events was heavily affected by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in either cancelation or postponement of some events to 2021.[1]

The total points earned is the summation of total points from all four events in the series. These events were originally scheduled in 2020 but postponed to 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
