Mosconi Cup Tickets Now Available
This December, the annual Mosconi Cup returns to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as Team USA attempt to win the Mosconi Cup for the first time outright since 2005.
With victories in Las Vegas in ’07 and in Malta last year, the Europeans will be hot favourites to lift the 16th annual Mosconi Cup when the two sides collide in Sin City from 10th to 13th December.
Taking place over four days, the Mosconi Cup is pool’s answer to the Ryder Cup as two five man teams representing Europe and the USA do battle over four days in a series of singles and doubles matches.
The USA lead the 15 match series, which started in 1994, by 10 ½ to 4 ½ but Europe’s recent resurgence including an 11-5 hiding in Valetta, Malta last December means that the Americans may well be looking to some fresh faces in order to wrest the Cup back.
Selection for the two sides hots up in September and the US Open, which concludes on the 24th October, will be the final event to have an impact on Mosconi Cup spots.
With debate raging Stateside as to who should gain the coveted positions, Mosconi Cup promoters Matchroom Sport will be taking the democratic process to the American nation by allowing the final Mosconi Cup spot to be determined by public vote.
