The 23rd edition of the WDF World Cup was held in Esbjerg in Denmark. From 26 to 30 September the tournament was played at the Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg. The tournament was initially going to be held in 2021, but the global corona pandemic forced the tournament to be postponed by two years. 

Three countries are making their debut this World Cup. The Faroe Islands, Guernsey, and Liechtenstein. Marco Meijer from the Netherlands and Christian Sørensen from Denmark. The Netherlands is the defending champion in the mens event. For the women it is England defending its title and for the youth England was also the strongest in 2019.

It will be a historic edition of the women's team event. For the first time in the history of this tournament, the English foursome is defeated. In the semi-finals, the Welsh quartet Rhian O'Sullivan, Alannah Waters-Evans, Eve Watson & Leanne Topper are too strong for Deta Hedman, Lorraine Winstanley, Claire Brookin & Beau Greaves. This had never happened in the two previous editions in which the English ladies participated.

Already in the last 16, the tournament loses some of the big names. The Dutch foursome loses to the Irish ladies 9-7. In a top match, the Australian ladies beat Japan 9-7 and the curtain also fell for Germany, perhaps less surprisingly because they lost to the English quartet. In the quarterfinals, the English ladies then beat Team USA and Wales beat Scotland in a British confrontation. Sweden wins the Scandinavian match against Finland 9-5. Finally, Ireland continues to play strongly and also beats the Australian ladies 9-6.

In addition to the big surprise in the semi-final of Wales, it is also the strong Irish ladies who beat Sweden 9-6. Therefore a final between Ireland and Wales is on the cards and in any case a new country that will win the tournament. Ultimately, the Irish ladies Robin Byrne, Caroline Breen, Aoife McCormack & Katie Sheldon write history for their country by winning the final 9 to 7 and thus taking home an Irish gold medal for the first time in history at the ladies.
