World Cup of Poker

The World Cup of Poker (WCP) is an annual poker tournament which was established in 2004. The preliminary rounds are conducted online and the finals are held in Barcelona, Spain. The tournament is sponsored by PokerStars.com.

The tournament starts with 46 teams, each consisting of five players, from 39 different countries, who compete in a series of heads up, or one-on-one no limit Texas hold 'em poker tournaments. The teams are separated into eight regional groups, with each group competing for a spot at the finals where they play for $200,000 in cash prizes. It is a round robin tournament in which each team in a group plays each other team to determine who advances.
