Adrian Lewis won the 2012 PDC World Cup of Darts for England with Phil Taylor.
England defeated Australia 4–3 in the final at the Riesa Messe in Riesa, Germany. Lewis and Taylor represented England as the country’s two selected players, and their victory made England the second nation to win the tournament after the Netherlands.
The PDC World Cup of Darts is a team event rather than an individual world championship. Players represent their countries, with the format combining singles matches and doubles. This means a nation can win even though no single player is crowned an individual world champion at the event.
Lewis had already won the PDC World Championship twice, in 2011 and 2012, by the time of the World Cup victory. Taylor was one of the sport’s most decorated players, making the English pairing especially prominent.
