The winning nation was the first country to earn four points over a five-match series – four singles fixtures and one doubles game.

Phil Taylor and James Wade of England won the competition and whitewashed their opponents Gary Anderson and Robert Thornton of Scotland 6–0.

The Jocky Wilson Cup, sponsored by online gambling company Partypoker,[1] was launched in August 2009 by the PDC.

[1] Two nations of two players each competed in the tournament: Robert Thornton and Gary Anderson for Scotland; Phil Taylor and James Wade for England.

[3] Thornton, the 2009 Players Championship Finals runner-up, said playing in Glasgow against England would possibly be the high point of his career and was looking forward to it.

[1] Sportscaster Sid Waddell said that Taylor would not treat the event as an exhibition and did not expect England to win all five matches.

[7] Anderson played Wade in the opening match of the competition, taking 20 minutes to build a 4–0 lead from checkouts of 96 and 118, and a double 5 finish.

Thornton won the first leg on a 95 checkout, before Wade broke back scoring 168 to set up a double 12 finish that he hit on the first try.

Thornton scored a maximum in the tenth leg, but Wade finished on double 14 to take a 6–4 victory.

Taylor took leg four with a 68 checkout when Anderson missed the bullseye and the fifth in 11 darts for a clear lead.

Robert came back brilliantly from losing 6-0 and Gary was superb, but James showed his quality.

"[9] Thornton commented on Scotland's defeat: "Both myself and Gary missed too many doubles but it was a really enjoyable experience.

"[11] Giles Smith of The Times called the competition "a pioneering and, you would have to say, pretty ambitious attempt to reconjure the broiling patriotic fervour and all-out historical needle that used to accompany the old home international football matches between England and Scotland, except with darts.
