The Six Nations Cup is a tournament for players without a PDC Tour Card. The national associations of the Netherlands, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland each delegate a men's and women's team. This year, the event took place in the Northern Irish town of Newtownabbey.
In the group stage of the men's tournament, the Dutch team won over Wales (13-8), but went down against Northern Ireland (10-13). The win over Wales did allow the Netherlands to advance to the semi-finals as number two. There, England (consisting of Paul Hogan, James Hurrell, Jamie Atkins, Reece Colley and Scott Mitchell) were comfortably beaten 13-5.
In the final, another encounter awaited with the Northern Ireland team of Chris Gilliland, Ricky Dunlop, Colin McGarry, Daniel McDonald and Neil Duff. The Dutchmen took revenge for their defeat in the pool phase by winning the final 13-10.
The men's singles tournament was won by Jamie Bain, who was too strong for Scott Mitchell in the final (5-3). Rhian O'Sullivan won the ladies' singles tournament by defeating Beau Greaves (5-3).
Greaves did succeed in the women's team event. Together with compatriots Lorraine Winstanley and Deta Hedman, they won 5-1 over Scotland in the final.

- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
