In 1989 Canada already hosted the WDF World Cup, when it was played in Toronto, in 2013 Saint Johns on the Eastern tip of the country was chosen as host city. Because some of the European and Asian teams were missing, the figures are a bit lagging behind on previous years. It will also be the last WDF World Cup for Norwegian Roy Price in his capacity as chairman of the WDF.
There were 27 men's teams, 25 women's teams and 11 youth teams present at this nineteenth WDF World Cup. All major countries on paper were there to compete in the Sports NL Center from 1 to 5 October. Among them, the men of Jersey for the first time.
The English team successfully defends their WDF World Cup overall title. The quartet Stephen Bunting, Tony O’Shea, Scott Waites and Glen Durrant win a lot of points in the pairs and singles especially. A semi-final in the team event is then sufficient to take the overall title with 127 points. Scotland takes the silver with 102 points and the bronze, thanks to a second place in the team tournament, goes to the USA with 61 points, three points more than South Africa. Wales closes the top five with 54 points.
