The 2013 PDC World Cup of Darts (also known as the Betfair World Cup of Darts for sponsorship reasons) was the third edition of the PDC World Cup of Darts which took place between 1–3 February 2013. England's Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis were the defending champions after defeating Australia's Simon Whitlock and Paul Nicholson in the 2012 final, and they retained their title by defeating the Belgian brothers Ronny and Kim Huybrechts in the final.

Format

24 countries in the PDC Order of Merit on 1 January after the 2013 PDC World Darts Championship were represented at the 2013 PDC World Cup of Darts. Each nation's top ranked player was joined by the second highest player of that country. For seeding the average rankings of the players was used, with the top eight seeds heading each of the eight groups of three countries.

The 24 countries were split into eight groups of three. Each team played one best of nine leg match against the other two in their group. The top two from each group advanced to the last 16 where the tournament became a straight knockout bracket.

Group matches – best of nine legs (doubles)
Last 16 – best of nine legs (doubles)
Quarter-finals – 2 x best of seven legs matches (singles). Should the tie be 1–1 then a third and final doubles tie will be played
Semi-finals – 2 x best of seven legs matches (singles). Should the tie be 1–1 then a third and final doubles tie will be played
Final – 4 x best of seven legs matches (singles). Should the tie be 2–2, then a fifth and final doubles tie will be played.
