The group stage of the 2025 World Cup of Darts has concluded, and the twelve group winners who will join England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland in the knockout rounds are now confirmed.

The Netherlands cruised through Group A without any trouble, recording emphatic 4-0 victories over both Italy and Hungary to finish with four points and a perfect leg difference of +8.

Group B delivered the biggest shock of the round. Belgium looked to be in control in their second group match, leading the Philippines 3-0. But after squandering seven match darts, Lourence Ilagan and Paolo Nebrida mounted an incredible comeback to snatch victory, sending a stunned Mike De Decker and Dimitri Van den Bergh crashing out.

Germany topped their group in commanding fashion, easing past Singapore (4-0) and defeating Portugal (4-2). Ireland, meanwhile, narrowly avoided elimination in a dramatic three-way tie with Gibraltar and China. All three nations finished level on points and leg difference, but Ireland progressed thanks to having the highest number of breaks of throw.

South Africa secured top spot in Group E after Norway’s upset win over Poland shook up the standings. In Group F, Malaysia pulled off a surprise by finishing ahead of Denmark and Canada.

Sweden emerged as group winners ahead of France and Lithuania, while Australia dominated Group H with victories over Austria (4-1) and Spain (4-0).

Hong Kong claimed first place in Group I, and Czechia topped Group J with back-to-back 4-2 wins against Chinese Taipei and India. In Group K, Switzerland edged out Croatia and Japan on leg difference.

And finally, one of the standout stories of the tournament so far came in Group L, where Argentina, making their debut at the event, sensationally won the group—knocking out both New Zealand and Finland in the process.
