The tournament is always played at the last weekend in February. Taking part are teams from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands. Each team consists of six men and four woman, five men and three women are the active players the other two are substitutes.
Played is alternate in all countries taking part while the national darts organisation of the respective country is the organiser.

The tournament is played in three stages.
Stage one is played in two unseeded groups with three teams.
In stage two the semi-finals and the match for the fifth place are played. In the semi-finals the group winners play the runner-up of the other group while the two bottoms of the group tables play for the fifth place.
Stage three is the final where the winners of the semi-finals meet.
