The 1975 World Cup took place 4–7 December at the Navatananee Course in Khan Na Yao district, 20 kilometres northeast of Bangkok city center in Thailand. It was the 23rd World Cup event. The tournament was a 72-hole stroke play team event with 47 teams of which 45 teams completed the competition. Each team consisted of two players from a country.
