Top‑seeded Luke Littler and partner Luke Humphries clinched the World Cup with a 10-5 triumph over Michael van Gerbig and Gian van Veen in Frankfurt. Their path included a tight 8-7 quarter‑final win over Jonny Clayton and Nick Kenny, followed by an 8-3 semi‑final demolition of Gary Anderson and Cameron Menzies. The victory marked England’s record‑extending sixth title and Humphries’ second crown.

Littler now holds every major trophy except the European Championships, having already secured the World Cup, World Darts Championship, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, UK Open, Grand Slam, Premier League, Masters and Players Championship Finals. He will defend the Matchplay, Grand Prix, Grand Slam and Players Championship later this season, keeping the clean‑sweep ambition alive. "If I keep playing the way I do, I have a brilliant chance," he said, eyeing the upcoming Matchplay.

Humphries praised the team effort, noting the win silenced doubters after a 2025 second‑round exit. Both players plan to return in 2027 to defend the title, confident their scoring and finishing are at peak levels. The duo’s success reshapes England’s dominance and sets a high bar for rivals.
