POOL fans are in for a treat as the Mosconi Cup is back and the action unfolds TODAY!

Team Europe humiliated USA in Alexandra Palace to lift the title last year with a staggering 11-3 scoreline.

Team Europe have won four consecutive Mosconi Cup titles

And as a result, it means that Europe has now won FOUR consecutive 9-ball tournaments.

But the location of this year’s event could play into the hands of the Americans as they search for their first trophy since 2019.

However, it will be another huge test for the USA with the groundbreaking news that Jayson Shaw is set to captain Team Europe.

What is the new Mosconi Cup 2024 format?

The respective captains of Team Europe and Team USA will select five players to compete in the tournament.

Day one of the Mosconi Cup will consist of two doubles matches and one singles match, while days two and three have two doubles and three singles.

Should the final day be required, five matches of singles will be played to decide the winner.

All matches are played as best of nine frames.

But in a slight twist to the usual rules, captains will not only lead their teams, but also compete on the table themselves – this has not happened since 2004.

What has been said?

The CEO said: “This is one of the most exciting opportunities in the history of the Mosconi Cup.

“After celebrating 30 years of history, today we are thrilled to reveal the latest edition of the World Nineball Tour’s centrepiece.

“This competition had flourished year on year and built a significant audience in the United States over the last three decades.

“There is no atmosphere in the world like the Mosconi Cup. Florida paves a path for Nineball fans, new and old, to witness new history and be part of this extraordinary event.”
