After organizing two Europe Cups, Turkey is ready for the big one; a WDF World Cup. The organization of the twentieth WDF World Cup is fantastic and almost everyone is happy with the all-inclusive principle of the playing location. In the men's tournament, 36 countries compete for the Cup, 29 countries bring a women's team and a record number of 16 youth teams find their way to the Turkish resort in Kemer. The Limra Hotel & Resort is the hotel and playing venue from 26 to 31 October.
For the first time there are four ladies per team, until 2015 there were always two. This means that an extra day of play is added to the schedule. From now on, the teams will play over five days and the opening ceremony is the day before. Nick Rolls joins the team of officials in 2015. Together with Richard Ashdown and Jacques Nieuwlaat they oversee the floor matches and the stage program. Bulgaria is there for the first time since 1995 and Serbia is the last newcomer to the WDF World Cup stage.
Because four ladies per team can be lined up for the first time in 2015, each country can send two pairs to the WDF World Cup. The dominance of England is complete in 2015. Both pairs reach the final in which Lisa Ashton & Claire Brookin ultimately win 6-4 against Fallon Sherrock & Deta Hedman. The bronze goes to Lorraine Burn & Corrine Hammond from Australia and to Irish ladies Robyn Byrne & Caroline Breen.
For Ireland this is the first medal ever with the ladies. For England it is the eleventh gold medal in the pairs in seventeen editions played.
