The seventh WDF World Cup Darts was played from 19 to 21 October at the Skyline Hotel in Toronto, Canada. In the men's 27 countries were present and competed for the WDF World Cup darts title. In the women's event 26 countries were present for their fourth WDF World Cup.
Would the English ladies be able to recapture their overall title that they had lost to the Americans in Copenhagen in 1987? And would the English men be able to take the overall title for the sixth time in a row? Host nation Canada took the men's overall silver two years ago, can they do a little better on home soil? Bahamas, Brazil and Kenya are there for the first time, as are Zimbabwe.
The overall WDF World Cup title now goes for the sixth consecutive time to the unplayable England team. Bob Anderson, Eric Bristow, John Lowe & Alan Warriner collect 124 points. The silver is for Canada who uses the home advantage to the maximum and finish on 75 points. The bronze is for the Republic of Ireland, who had to pay for their trip to Canada themselves, with 60 points. America finishes fourth with 49 points and fifth the Belgians with 44 points.
