Champion
2009 WDF World Cup Photographer: ADO Darts Stacy Bromberg

In 2009, the United States are elected host for the third time. After previous two editions in Las Vegas in 1979 and 1993, it is now Charlotte's turn in North Carolina. The Blake Hotel is the venue where will be played from September 23-25. New faces on stage for the first time in a long time. Richard Ashdown and Jacques Nieuwlaat replace Martin Fitzmaurice as host on behalf of the WDF from 2009.

It will be a very relaxed WDF World Cup in beautiful weather conditions, with 32 men's, 31 women's and 10 youth teams competing for the medals. The Cayman Islands are making their debut. Besides the Cayman Islands, Turks & Caicos, Trinidad & Tobago, Bermuda, Bahamas and Barbados are also present and this ensures that this WDF World Cup also gets a real Caribbean feel to it.

It is of course a dream to grab the title in front of your own crowd and that dream came true in 2009 for Stacy Bromberg. This private detective from Las Vegas has been one of the leading players in North America for years and now she can add this global title to het resume. Bromberg beats Julie Gore from Wales in the final 7-3. It is the second lost final in a row for Gore. Bromberg had also reached the final in her own country in 1993, but then had to concede the gold to compatriot Kathy Maloney.

The favourite English ladies both lose 5-2 to the later finalists in the quarterfinals. Karen Lawman to Bromberg and Lisa Ashton to Gore. Two surprising names in the semi-finals. New Zealand veteran Jannette Jonathan takes her first individual medal at her ninth attempt. And the Russian Karina Nagapetynts is rewarded for an excellent tournament with a bronze medal.

Stacy Bromberg is the fourth American to lift the WDF World Cup singles trophy above her head. Sandy Reitan (1983), Eva Grigsby (1989) and Kathy Maloney (1993) preceded her.
