An ever present at the World Cup, Australia had their best performance in 2012 when they reached the final 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 reigned in victory for England.[2] 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.

Despite beating New Zealand and Northern Ireland to reach the quarter-finals in 2013, they hadn't been invited back to another World Cup, until a surprise recall in 2021, but they then had to withdraw owing to an illness to Boris Krčmar.

After being forced to withdraw from the inaugural World Cup in 2010 due to inclement weather, the Czech Republic had to wait until 2015 to make its debut. They have been active in the tournament ever since, but had to wait until 2024 to reach the second round. Their average of 103.47 in their 2021 loss to Poland was the highest losing average in a first-round match at the World Cup of Darts.
