  • The News of the World Championship was one of the first major organised darts competitions, which began in 1927. It became England's first national darts competition from 1947, as the years went by it gradually became international essentially becoming the first world darts Championship and was the hardest darts tournament to win until its demise in 1990. There was also a brief revival of the event in 1996/97, but it is now discontinued. It was organised by the National Darts Association of Great Britain (NDAGB). Before the tournament was established, darts competitions were held in various forms around England – often as friendly matches between pubs. After World War I, pub breweries began arranging darts leagues which began to sow the seeds for the establishment of a national darts competition. The tournament was noted for using an 8 ft oche rather than the regulation 7 ft 9 ¼ inches. One of these competitions was held in Hythe Street, Dartford, Kent in 1927. The competition was sponsored by a local Brewery, C.N Kidd & Sons Ltd. (en)

Van 1947 tot haar afschaffing in 1990 was het Engelands eerste nationale dartscompetitie. In 1996/97 kende het toernooi een kortstondige terugkeer, maar dat bleek eenmalig. Het News of the World Darts Championship was eveneens het eerste nationaal op de televisie uitgezonden dartsevenement, wanneer ITV het toernooi vanaf 1970 op het scherm bracht. (nl)
