2025 PDC World Cup of Darts

The 2025 PDC World Cup of Darts, known as the 2025 BetVictor World Cup of Darts for sponsorship reasons, was a professional darts tournament, held from 12 to 15 June 2025 at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt, Germany. It was the fifteenth edition of the PDC World Cup of Darts to be staged by the Professional Darts Corporation. The tournament featured 40 national teams; the top four nations based on lowest combined PDC Order of Merit ranking entered in the second round, while the remaining 36 teams started in the group stage. The total prize fund was £450,000, with the winning team receiving £80,000. 2013 finalists Belgium were eliminated in the group stage, marking the nation's earliest exit at the tournament. Argentina were the only nation to make their first appearance, qualifying from their group on debut. England, represented by Luke Humphries and Luke Littler, were the defending champions after Humphries and Michael Smith defeated Austria 10–6 in the 2024 final. However, they lost to Germany 8–4 in the second round. Northern Ireland, represented by Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney, won their first ever World Cup title by defeating Wales 10–9 in the final.
