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.
