An ever present at the World Cup, Australia reached the final in 2012 against England. The match went all the way, being decided by a sudden death leg where all four players had darts at double before Adrian Lewis secured victory for England.[4] But in 2022, their 10-year agony came to an end when Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock beat Wales in the final to become the 5th different nation to win the trophy.

Amongst teams that have never won the World Cup, Belgium has the best record, reaching the final 4 eight times, including a loss to England in the 2013 final. The seven semi-finals statistic is third only to the four-time champions of England and the Netherlands. The Belgian team is also unique in being the only team to be composed of brothers, being represented by Kim and Ronny Huybrechts from 2013 to 2017. Kim represented Belgium from 2012 until 2024, but got replaced by Mike De Decker after he won the 2024 World Grand Prix and took his place in the top 32 on the Order of Merit, surpassing Kim.

After the loss to Spain in the inaugural World Cup in 2010, England reached the final in the next 5 editions, winning 4 of them, thanks to the combination of Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis. Since then, the team was only able to reach the final a single time, with fans dubbing the team was cursed ever since their last title. However, they were able to finally win their 5th World Cup in the 2024 edition, with the pairing of Luke Humphries and Michael Smith.
