World Cup of Snooker

The World Cup of Snooker, currently known as the 8ballbetting.com World Cup of Snooker for sponsorship purposes, is a professional non-ranking snooker event using a pairs format. Eight countries compete for the World Cup crown, with the top two seeded players for each nation competing in the tournament. The players from each team play a best-of-three frame singles match against each other, and then play a doubles match.

The tournament began in 1999 as the Nations Cup, but was discontinued in 2003. It returned for the 2011/12 snooker season. In 2014, WPBSA President Gary Wilkinson announced the location of the tournament would change every season, similarly to the FIFA World Cup in football. The 2014 event was subsequently held in Toronto, Canada.

The current champions are China.
