We present an analytical study of superradiant instability of rotating asymptotically G\"{o}del black hole (Kerr-G\"{o}del black hole) in five-dimensional minimal supergravity theory. By employing the matched asymptotic expansion method to solve Klein-Gordon equation of scalar field perturbation, we show that the complex parts of quasinormal frequencies are positive in the regime of superradiance. This implies the growing instability of superradiant modes. The reason for this kind of instability is the Dirichlet boundary condition at asymptotic infinity, which is similar to that of rotating black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime.
