Mosconi Cup

The 21st annual PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup returns to the UK this December when two five-man teams representing Europe and America clash for transatlantic nine ball pool bragging rights.

Taking place over four intense days, the venue is the legendary Tower Circus in Blackpool, and Team Europe will be defending the crown they won comfortably in Las Vegas last year.

Nine ball pool is the game and the Europeans are enjoying their most successful spell in the history of the Mosconi Cup. Can a revamped American side cope with the rowdiest, most intimidating atmosphere in world pool and reverse their fortunes?

Both teams will be fielding some of the greatest players in the world and passions often spill over as each man's nerve, skill and bottle is tested to the extreme in a series of singles and doubles matches over the four days.
