Team Europe celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Mosconi Cup with a resounding defeat of Team USA in 2023. Led by rookie captain Ralph Eckert, the hosts proved far too strong over four days of 9-ball action at the iconic Alexandra Palace. The 11-3 winning scoreline brought up the fourth consecutive title for Team Europe. Europe’s Joshua Filler was named Mosconi Cup MVP for a third time.
2025 PREVIEW
Team USA (line-up below) are desperate to take back the trophy having lost out to Team Europe for five years in a row. The latest edition of the trophy took place in Florida in December 2024.

Upon the announcement, Shaw said: “Captaining Team Europe at the Mosconi Cup is always a huge honour…Team USA will come hard at us, but we’ll be ready for whatever they bring.” Woodward commented: “It’s always special to lead Team USA. We’re more motivated than ever to bring the Cup back home, and I know we have what it takes. The Ally Pally crowd is going to be loud, but that’s the beauty of the Mosconi Cup.”
