PDC World Cup of Darts Tournament Format
The field of World Cup of Darts was expanded to 32 teams in 2014 and 2015, with the top 16 teams seeded and each playing a best-of-nine doubles match to begin. Following that, the format was the same as in the previous tournament’s later stages, with two best of seven leg singles matches. If one team won both singles matches, they were proclaimed the winners; if each team won one match, the winner was determined by a best of seven doubles match.
Since then, the format has remained largely unchanged, with the exception of 2016, when only the top 8 teams were seeded rather than the top 16.

PDC Darts World Cup History, Schedule, Ands Iconic Venues
The Professional Darts Corporation organised the PDC World Cup of Darts, a team darts competition that was one of three new tournaments added to the PDC schedule in 2010. Sky Sports will broadcast it live. The second event was held in Hamburg, Germany in February 2012, due to the Players Championship Finals being rescheduled in the PDC calendar.
In 2015, the tournament was held at the Eissporthalle Frankfurt, where it remained until 2019, when it returned to Hamburg and was transferred to the Barclaycard Arena. In 2020, the event was held in the Salzburgarena in Salzburg, Austria; in 2021, it was held at the Sparkassen-Arena in Jena; and in 2022, it will be held in Frankfurt once more.
