<templatestyles src="TOC top/styles.css"/>

## Overview

As of 2023, of the 47 nations to have competed, 18 of them have played in all thirteen tournaments to date.

## Malaysia

So far, Malaysia have only competed in the second and fourth editions of the tournament, losing to both Irish teams in the process.

## Netherlands

The winners of the inaugural tournament, the Netherlands have won the event on three other occasions, and have only twice failed to reach at least the quarter-finals stage.

## New Zealand

The New Zealand team's only run of note came when they reached the quarter-finals in 2019. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, they couldn't participate in the 2021 tournament, ending their ever-present record.

## Northern Ireland

A team who have always been a Top 6 seed, the Northern Irish team have only reached the semi-finals on two occasions.

## Norway

Norway was one of the seven teams to debut in the 2014 World Cup when the tournament field was increased from 24 to 32 teams. Though they achieved their first match victory in 2016, it would be their last appearance in the tournament.

## Philippines

The Philippines did not compete in the first World Cup, but debuted as one of the five new teams in the 2012 World Cup, and after missing the 2017 and 2018 tournaments, they returned in 2019.

## Poland

Appearing in all but the 2012 tournament, Poland have never gone beyond the last 16 stage. In 2023, they broke the world record average for a pairs game when Krzysztof Ratajski and Krzysztof Kciuk averaged 118.10 in their win over Lithuania.

## Portugal

Portugal were invited to play at their first World Cup of Darts in 2020, following the late withdrawal of Singapore.

## Republic of Ireland

After a relatively unspectacular record in the competition, the Irish reached the final in 2019 after impressive wins over England and the Netherlands, before Scotland claimed the title.

## Russia

After including Anastasia Dobromyslova in the inaugural tournament, Russia would miss the next 2 tournaments, before reaching the quarter-finals in 2017, where they beat Australia on the way.

## Scotland

After succumbing to Spain (twice) and South Africa in the first three tournaments, Scotland reached the final in 2015 and 2018, before winning the title in 2019 and again in 2021.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Reigning champions Peter Wright and Gary Anderson would have returned as the number two seeds in 2020, but withdrew due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Singapore

Singapore were one of the seven teams to debut in the 2014 World Cup when the tournament field was increased from 24 to 32 teams. They have consistently been represented by Paul Lim and Harith Lim (no relation). Singapore notably knocked out the number one seeded Scotland in the first round to kick off a run to the quarter-finals in 2017.

## Slovakia

Slovakia have only been invited to play at the first World Cup of Darts in 2010, where they lost to the Republic of Ireland 6–3 in the first round.

## Slovenia

Slovenia have only been invited to play at the first World Cup of Darts in 2010, where they lost to Sweden 6–2 in the first round.

## South Africa

South Africa did not appear in the first World Cup, but debuted at the second World Cup in 2012 with a quarter-final run, and have been present for every edition since, and have still been the only African representatives in the competition. They reached the quarter-finals in both 2012 and 2014.

## Spain

Spain debuted in the inaugural World Cup with a second round upset of the top seed England in 2010, and after progressing through the group stage, they eventually were swept away by Netherlands in the semi-finals. Since then, they only progressed further than the last 16 only once in 10 years.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Top ranked Spaniard Cristo Reyes was replaced by third ranked Spaniard Noguera for undisclosed reasons in the 2020 World Cup.

## Sweden

The ever-present Swedes had never been beyond the last 16 stage, until a great run in 2023 saw them defeat Canada to reach the quarter-finals.

## Switzerland

Switzerland were one of two teams to debut in the 2017 World Cup as a last minute addition due to the withdrawal of Latvia. After only playing two editions of the tournament, they were replaced by Lithuania in 2019, but they returned to the tournament in 2022.

## Thailand

Thailand were one of the seven teams to debut in the 2014 World Cup when the tournament field was increased from 24 to 32 teams. After failing to win a match in five tournament appearances, the 2018 World Cup would be their last, but they returned for the 2023 tournament, where despite having match darts to beat Croatia, they still remain winless in the tournament.

## Ukraine

Ukraine became one of four new nations participating in the World Cup, when they made their debut in 2023. Unfortunately, they didn't win a leg in either of their two matches.

## United States

The United States have appeared in every edition of the World Cup, reaching the last eight phase in each of the first two editions, but failing to progress further in subsequent years.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Darin Young was qualified to make his return and remain ever present at the 2020 World Cup but withdrew and was replaced by Lauby after being medically diagnosed with vertigo.

## Wales

After two runners-up finishes in 2010 and 2017, the Welsh team achieved their first tournament victory in 2020 with a 3–0 defeat of No.1 seed England in the final, followed by a second success in 2023.
