From 6 to 9 August 1998, 26 countries played in Oslo in Norway during the eleventh edition of the WDF Europe Cup darts. The big question was of course whether the England men, this time with Martin Adams, Andy Fordham, Ronnie Baxter and Steve Beaton, would take home the overall title for the eleventh consecutive time. The England ladies Mandy Solomons and Trina Gulliver could win the overall Cup for the seventh time in the last eight editions. For the first time in the history of the WDF Europe Cup, two brothers play in one cup; Brian and John Elder from Ballymena play for Northern Ireland. The Faroe Islands and Iceland make their debut at a WDF Europe Cup here in Norway.

In the pairs tournament it only gets interesting in the knockout phase. Immediately the Dutch ladies Mieke de Boer & Valerie Maytum lose 4-2 to Kristiina Korpi & Linda Nilsson from Sweden. Germany and Denmark also lose immediately.

In the quarterfinals, Wales also goes down with Sandra Greatbatch & Gaynor Williams against Denise Cassidy & Grace Crane from Northern Ireland. The Scottish duo Anne Kirk & Donna Robertso also lose to Finland with Tarja Salminen & Heli Ohvanainen. Sweden beats Ireland and is also in the last four. The English ladies Mandy Solomons & Trina Gulliver play very strong and have no problem with the Swiss ladies.

In the semi-finals, the English ladies win 4-1 against Northern Ireland and Sweden defeats Finland in a Scandinavian match 4-2. In a high-quality final, England wins 4-2 against the Swedish duo Kristiina Korpi & Linda Nilsson. Already the third time in a row that the English ladies take the pairs title, the sixth in total. For Sweden, there will be no repeat of the first WDF Europe Cup in 1982 when Carina Sahlberg & Charlotte Eriksson surprisingly took the gold.
