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 Centre from 1 to 5 October. Among them, the men of Jersey for the first time.
The strong duo Trina Gulliver and Deta Hedman extend their overall title at the WDF World Cup in addition to their pairs title. Only in the singles do Hedman and Gulliver change places. This year it is Deta Hedman who takes the singles title. With a total of 60 points, the English ladies are easily the best. The silver goes to Cindy Hayhurst and Dianne Gobeil from Canada. Bronze is for the German ladies Irina Armstrong and Anne Willkomm who score a total of 26 points. Wales with 23 points and Australia with 20 points complete the top five.
