The 2021 FINA Diving World Cup was scheduled to take place in Tokyo, Japan, from 21 to 26 April 2020. It was to be the 22nd edition of the biennial diving competition, and the first time this specific FINA event was to be held in Tokyo and Japan. The venue was to be the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, and the final qualifying diving event for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
The event was postponed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, after consulting with the International Olympic Committee. This followed the cancellation of the Beijing stop for the FINA Diving World Series in February 2020, and suspension of all other FINA events in March.
The competition was scheduled to take place on 18–23 April 2021. However on 2 April 2021, it was reported by BBC Sport that the event was "under review" and likely to be cancelled, citing COVID-19-related concerns and logistical costs, a state of emergency declared over novel SARS-CoV-2 variants, and that the Japanese government "did not take all the necessary measures" to ensure a fair and successful competition. On 9 April 2021 it was announced that the 2021 Fina Diving World Cup would take place on 1–6 May.
