It was run by the European Darts Council and featured singles and team events for men and women. ## History Held annually since 1986,[1] the Spring Cup was run by the European Darts Council.[1] It was the third largest competition for European nations behind the [WDF World Cup](/source/WDF_World_Cup) and [WDF Europe Cup](/source/WDF_Europe_Cup).[1] The competition was referred to as the 'small' Europe Cup since there were only singles and team events held for men and women.[1] Only the nations from continental Europe were allowed to enter.[1] Established darting nations such as England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland were excluded so 'smaller' less established nations had a chance at success.[1] There was no competition held in 1989 or 2002, but the 2009 edition was cancelled.[1] The 2012 edition was the last.[2] After some speculation, it was announced the competition would not return in 2013 as there were not enough countries willing to enter the competition.[3] The men's and women's singles events, held on the last day, are also individual tournaments which offer both winners entry in to the qualifying rounds for the [World Masters](/source/World_Masters_(darts)).[4] ## Competing nations The following is a list of nations that had previously entered the Spring Cup;[5] - Austria - Belgium - Catalonia - Czech Republic - Denmark - France - Germany - Gibraltar - Hungary - Luxembourg - Netherlands - Slovenia - Spain - Switzerland ## Winners Hosts[1] Team Champions[1] Singles Champions[1] Ref 1986 Men Belgium Willy Logie Women Netherlands Valerie Maytum 1987 Men Belgium Frans de Vooght Women Netherlands Mia Mevissen 1988 Men Belgium Gaudenzdorfer Coray Women Germany Valerie Maytum 1990 Men Germany Bert Hansen Women Germany Heike Ernst 1991 Men Netherlands Raymond van Barneveld Women Netherlands Francis Hoenselaar 1992 Men Belgium Walter Tschudin Women Germany Heike Ernst 1993 Men Netherlands Bert Vlaardingerbroek Women Germany Andrea Mejlsing 1994 Men Netherlands Raymond van Barneveld Women Netherlands Francis Hoenselaar 1995 Men Netherlands Bruno Raes Women Germany Andrea Leipold 1996 Men Netherlands Co Stompé Women Netherlands Vicky Pruim 1997 Men Belgium Co Stompé Women Netherlands Bianka shrub 1998 Men Netherlands Roland Scholten Women Germany Bianka shrub 1999 Men Netherlands Raymond van Barneveld Women Netherlands Heike Ernst 2000 Men Netherlands Raymond van Barneveld Women Netherlands Bianka shrub 2001 Men Netherlands Raymond van Barneveld Women Netherlands Francis Hoenselaar 2003 Men Netherlands André Brantjes Women Netherlands Heike Ernst 2004 Men Netherlands André Brantjes Women Netherlands Karin claws 2005 Men Germany John Snyers Women Germany Heike Ernst 2006 Men Netherlands Mario Robbe Women Netherlands Sandra Pollet 2007 Men Netherlands Geert De Vos Women Netherlands Rilana Erades 2008 Men Netherlands Andree Welge [6] Women Netherlands Rilana Erades 2009 Cancelled 2010 Men Belgium Ronny Huybrechts Women Netherlands Stefanie Lück 2011 Men Netherlands Christian Kist [7] Women Netherlands Floor van Zanten 2012 [7] Men Netherlands Geert De Vos [8][9] Women Netherlands Aileen de Graaf ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-4) [***f***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-5) [***g***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-6) [***h***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-7) [***i***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-8) [***j***](#cite_ref-Dartn:SC_1-9) [Spring Cup](http://www.dartn.de/Spring_Cup) Dartn.
