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 team tournament has some surprises in St. Johns. The Dutch quartet does not survive the group phase. They lose 9-8 to Wales and 9-6 to the host country, with which they also lose sight of a good overall ranking. In the last sixteen, Canada suffers a surprisingly big loss, they have no chance against Sweden as the lose 1-9 and so their team tournament is over.

A team that does run very well is the USA. Larry Butler, Tom Sawyer, Gordon Dixon & Robbie Phillips consecutively beat Finland and Denmark en route to the semi-finals. In it Stephen Bunting, Glen Durrant, Tony O'Shea & Scott Waites from England are the opponents and surprisingly the USA team is victorious with another big margin at 9-2.

In the final, the Scotsman Ross Montgomery, Craig Baxter, Alan Soutar & Gary Stone will be the opponent. Of course, always one of the top teams, but the Scots have never won the team event at a WDF World Cup. They beat South Africa, Norway and in the semi-final Daniel Larsson, Dennis Nilsson, Mats Andersson, Lennart Efraimsson from Sweden on their way to the final.

The Scots and the Americans have agreat tense game in which ultimately The Scots beat the USA 9-7. Ross Montgomery, Craig Baxter, Alan Soutar & Gary Stone thus make Scottish darts history by winning gold in the team event for the first time. For the USA, the counter stays at two golds in this event.
