The Europe Cup is a WDF tournament which is played like the Asia/Pacific Cup and the America Cup alternately with the WDF World Cup every second
year.
It first was played in 1978 - then a tournament only for the men. Since 1982 it is supplemented by a ladies tournament.
All European countries which are members of the WDF can take part.
While the World Cup, the Asia/Pacific Cup and the America Cup include youth tournaments as well the Europe Cup youth is an independent tournament
which is assigned and played separately.
So the Europe Cup Youth in 2010 was played in Germany while the Europe Cup for the "Adults" will be played in Turkey.
Beside this all the Cups are very similar. As with the other Cups the Europe Cup offers a team, a pairs and a single competition for the men and
a pairs and a single competition for the women and all results count for the overall ranking.
The Ladies Pairs and the Men's Teams are played in Round Robin, all other tournaments are straight knockout.
While for the World Cup the WDF itself is responsible, the Europe Cup is in the responsibility of the European Council, a sub-organisation of
the WDF.
