The ODF World Darts Championship is a world championship competition held annually in the sport of darts. The championship begins in December and ends in January and has been held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, South Australia, since 2023. Organised by the International Darts Federation (IDF), it is the most prestigious of their tournaments, with the winner receiving the IDF Worlds Trophy. The event is tied directly to the ODF Grand Prix of Darts and the ODF Darts Premier League.

The IDF championship began in 2023 when the team behind the PDC wanted to allow players to join into a world-based championship that is hosted in Australia each year.

Since its inception in 2023, the ODF World Championship has crowned two different champions. Ryhs Morgan, from Australia, won the first edition in 2023. Jack Mercer (2024) and Niko Brant (2025).
