The 10th IKF World Korfball Championship were held in the Belgian cities of Ghent, Tielen and Antwerp in 2015. Ghent and Tielen hosted the first and second round matches, while the placing matches and finals were all held in the Lotto Arena in Antwerp.

The top two teams of each group in the first round advanced to the pools for the top 8th places (pools E and F), while the other teams move into pools G and H which will determine positions 9 to 16. In each second round pool the top two will advance to a finals playoff for the top positions, with the bottom two teams dropping into the playoffs for the bottom positions. During the second round, all matches will still be played in Ghent and Tielen, but due to the tournament structure, all teams that played in Ghent in round 1 will now play in Tielen and vice versa.
