A charging system for an autonomous underwater vehicle includes: a sea floating body floating on a sea; a charging station suspended in water from the sea floating body through a string-shaped body and located downstream of the sea floating body by receiving a water flow, the charging station including a noncontact electricity supplying portion located at a position away from the string-shaped body; and an autonomous underwater vehicle coupled to the charging station so as to be rotatable about the string-shaped body, the autonomous underwater vehicle including a noncontact electricity receiving portion configured to receive electricity supplied from the noncontact electricity supplying portion, wherein: the charging station takes by the water flow such a posture that the noncontact electricity supplying portion is located downstream of the string-shaped body in a water flow direction; and in a state where the autonomous underwater vehicle is coupled to the charging station, the autonomous underwater vehicle takes by the water flow such a posture that the noncontact electricity receiving portion is located downstream of the string-shaped body in the water flow direction.
