The 2013 PDC World Cup of Darts (also known as the Betfair World Cup of Darts for sponsorship reasons) is the third edition of the PDC World Cup of Darts which will take place between February 1 to 3. England's Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis are the defending champions after defeating Australia's Simon Whitlock and Paul Nicholson in the 2012 final.

Format

24 countries in the PDC Order of Merit on January 1 after the 2013 PDC World Darts Championship will be represented at the 2013 PDC World Cup of Darts. Each nation's top ranked player will be joined by the second highest player of that country. For seeding the average rankings of the players was used, with the top eight seeds heading each of the eight groups of three countries.

The 24 countries have been split into eight groups of three. Each team will play one best of nine leg match against the other two in their group. The top two from each group will advance to the last 16 where the tournament becomes a straight knockout bracket.

Group matches - best of nine legs (doubles)
Last 16 - best of nine legs (doubles)
Quarter-finals - 2 x best of seven legs matches (singles). Should the tie be 1–1 then a third and final doubles tie will be played
Semi-finals - 2 x best of seven legs matches (singles). Should the tie be 1–1 then a third and final doubles tie will be played
Final - 4 x best of seven legs matches (singles). Should the tie be 2–2 then a fifth and final doubles tie will be played
