The twelfth edition of the PDC World Cup of Darts was held in Frankfurt from June 16 to 19. On behalf of the Netherlands, Danny Noppert and Dirk van Duijvenbode took a shot at the title. In the end, Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock of Team Australia managed to take the title for the first time.

The tournament has no surprises in the first two rounds. Ultimately, the eight seeded teams all qualify for the quarter-finals. The Netherlands starts the tournament with a simple 5-0 win over Brazil, and then they beat Ireland 2-0 in the second round. Title holder Scotland successively beats Hong Kong (5-1) and Portugal (2-1) and Australia is too strong for Lithuania (5-2) and Sweden (2-1).

In the quarterfinals, Noppert and Van Duijvenbode will face Daryl Gurney and Brendan Dolan on behalf of Northern Ireland. Both matches become a victory for the Dutch, which means that a place in the semi-finals is a fact. In it, the Netherlands plays against Wales, which beats home country Germany 2-0 with Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton. In the third quarterfinal, the Australians manage to beat the Belgians: after the single matches have been fairly divided, Heta and Whitlock averaged almost 110 in the pairing match. That is enough for a 4-0 win and a place in the last four. Finally, there is the elimination of title holder Scotland: Peter Wright and John Henderson have no chance against Michael Smith and James Wade on behalf of England and go down 2-0.

The Netherlands does not manage to reach the final. Against Wales, Noppert first loses to Price, after which Van Duijvenbode cannot straighten it against Price. Wales will play the final against Australia, which crowns a strong day with a place in the final. Heta beats Smith 4-3 after trailing 3-1, and Whitlock is too strong for Wade. After 2012, Australia is in the final at the World Cup for the second time. For Wales it is the fourth time and the chance of their second title ever.

The final is kicked off by Damon Heta and Gerwyn Price. 'The Heat' plays a strong match and beats 'The Iceman' 4-0. If Simon Whitlock then beats Jonny Clayton 4-2, Australia is only one point away from their first title ever. The win can then be taken in the pairing match, but it is Wales who win 4-3 after Whitlock missed one match dart at the double eighteen. In the fourth match, Heta and Clayton face each other. Like his teammate, Heta throws a strong tournament and beats Clayton 4-2, after already missing several match darts. As a result, Team Australia wins the game 3-1 and is the winner of the World Cup for the first time in history.
