The Asia-Pacific Cup is a WDF tournament which is played like the Europe Cup and the America Cup alternately with the WDF World Cup every second
year.
It first was played in 1980 and offered from the start competiontions for men and women. Players from the USA and Canada took part as well till in 2000
the first America Cup was played.
All countries from Asia and the Pacific region which are members of the WDF can take part.
The Asia-Pacific Cup began as "Pacific Cup". In the 1990's the WDF offered an Asia Cup as well. Out of financial reasons many of the countries couldn't take
part in both events. So the WDF in the end decided to give up the Pacific Cup and to play an Asia-Pacific Cup instead. Beside the Asiatic countries Australia, New Zealand,
and till 2000 the USA and Canada could take part in it.
Originally the participating national teams consisted of two female and two male players and all tournaments, the ladies and men's singles and doubles, the
mixed doubles and the mixed team competition were played round robin.
Over the years the format changed. The team competition first changed into a four men's team competition and then again back to a mixed team
event but is now played by four men and two women.
The player taking part most often was Paul Lim. He took part seven times and played for three different nations over the years: for
Singapor, for Papua New Guinea and for the USA. Three times he won the men's singles.
