From 6 to 8 October 1988, the British Darts Organisation hosted the WDF Europe Cup VI, which took place in the English port city of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Initially, this event would take place in the West German town of Heidelberg but the withdrawal of the main sponsor at the last moment forced the World Darts Federation to find another host. Denmark volunteered to organise the tournament but the BDO eventually got the organisation. 

Thus, was the European Cup VI played in the Seashore Holiday Centre in Great Yarmouth. It is the second time, after 1982, England hosts a WDF Europe Cup, this time with fifteen countries on the starting list, including for the first time Italy and Malta.

Just like in the men's pairs, the ladies duo from England Sue Edwards & Jayne Kempster also lose, early in the tournament. In the quarterfinals they get beat by the Swedish duo Cecillia Peterson & Hanele Varis 4-2. Thus, breaking the tournament wide open for all the other countries. 

The Swedish ladies lose 4-0 in their semi-final to Linda Rogers & Ann Thomas from Wales. In the other semi-final, Scottish duo Cathie McCullogh & Janette Youngson beat Brenda O'Leary & Maureen Owens from Ireland.

Wales is then far too strong for Scotland in the final. Linda Rogers & Ann Thomas beat Cathie McCullogh & Janette Youngson 4-1. It is Wales' first gold ever in the ladies pairs at a WDF Europe Cup. The Irish bronze is the first ever women's medal for this country.
