The World Cup of Darts 2024 will take place at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt from Thursday, June 27 to Sunday, June 30. During this pairs tournament, £450,000 in prize money will be distributed.
In this edition of the World Cup of Darts, 40 countries are participating. The top nations England, Wales, the Netherlands and Scotland are automatically qualified for the second round and these teams get to split 9,000 pounds (4,500 pounds per person) guaranteed.
The remaining 36 countries will play a group stage first. The group stage consists of 12 groups of three countries each. The number three in each grouo will receive 2,000 pounds each, the numbers two will receive 5,000 pounds, while the group winners will be on 9,000 pounds in prize money just like the top four countries.
Only after that does it get really lucrative. The quarter-finalists each receive £10,000 credited to their bank accounts. The semifinalists will receive £15,000 each for their performance. The losing finalists will both receive £25,000 in prize money, while the winners will go home with £40,000 each. The prize money won does not count toward the world rankings, by the way.
The tournament was won for the second time by Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton in 2023, after they previously proved the best team in 2020. However Price cannot participate in the upcoming edition of the World Cup of Darts due to health raesons. His place will be taken by Jim Williams. Four-time champion England will be represented by world champion Luke Humphries - making his debut at the World Cup - and world number three Michael Smith.
