The winners were Paweł Fajdek (248.01 metres) and Anita Włodarczyk (235.28 metres), both of Poland. This was Włodarczyk's third straight title and Fajdek's second title, after his win in 2013. Fajdek and Włodarczyk each improved the challenge record totals. Włodarczyk twice broke the hammer throw world record that year, but these marks were achieved outside of the series.Rowbottom, Mike (2016-01-01). 2015 IAAF World Challenge review. IAAF.

A total of fourteen meetings featured on the circuit, with nine women's and ten men's contests spread across those events. The point scoring format was cumulative – the final standings were decided by the sum of athletes' three best throws on the circuit. Only the best throw by an athlete from each meet was taken into consideration. Calendar The 2015 series continued the model of the 2013 by featuring a combination of IAAF World Challenge meetings and non-IAAF meetings in Europe.2015 IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge Calendar. IAAF.
