The twelfth WDF Europe Cup was held in Veldhoven from 11 to 14 October. The Netherlands will host the WDF Europe Cup for the second time after The Hague in 1984. 21 Countries participate in the men's competition, 19 in the women's competition. For the first time since 1992, this means a decline in the number of participating countries. There are a lot of spectators present at this edition. This is undoubtedly due to the high expectations of the host country. There is a darts hype in the Netherlands since the World Championship titles of Raymond van Barneveld in 1998 and 1999.

The playing field is widening not only for men, but also for women. It is certainly no longer just the British ladies who are in charge. The last eight include eight different countries in the singles to underline that point. The English Trina Gulliver wins 4-2 in the quarterfinals against former finalist Sandra Greatbatch from Wales. The Italian Mojca Humar beats Kristina Korpii from Sweden with the same numbers and Ann-Louise Andersen from Denmark also wins with the same numbers from Belgium’s Sandra Pollet. Only the Dutch ace Francis Hoenselaar has no problems in her duel with the French lady Anita Chausson. The Dutch Crown wins 4-0.

From the semi-finals, no game is close anymore. Trina Gulliver beats Mojca Humar 4-0, but the Italian can be very proud of the first medal she has ever delivered to her country. A lot more surprising is the 4-0 with which Ann-Louise Andersen beats Hoenselaar in the other semi-final. The Danish star was already the European youth champion in 1990, 1991 and 1992, but had not often shown herself internationally among the seniors yet. However, she will not become the first player to win the singles title in the juniors and seniors. In the final she is no match for Gulliver who takes the gold medal 4-0. Gulliver is the sixth English lady to win this. In total England has won this event seven times.
