The 2003 WDF World Cup has a dramatic ending. The final of the team tournament ultimately decides who takes the overall title. The USA plays in the final against the Netherlands. A victory for the Netherlands, they also win the overall title for the first time in history. With a victory from the USA, they take bronze overall and England take the Cup. It is team USA that wins that final 9-7 and thus helps the English team to the overall title.

The English have had two pairs in the final, which makes up for their poor performance in the team tournament. Mervyn King, Martin Adams, Andy Fordham & Tony O'Shea collect a total of 114 points, which is enough for gold. The third time in a row that England wins the overall WDF World Cup, the eleventh time in total. The silver is for the Netherlands with the singles champion Raymond van Barneveld in their ranks with 98 points. The USA takes bronze with 79 points. Finland finishes fourth with 66 points and Northern Ireland fifth with 52 points.
