The three- cushion World Cup 1995/8 was the third BWA World Cup tournament in the tenth year of the three- cushion World Cup. The tournament took place from December 1st to 3rd, 1995 in this discipline of carom billiards in Antwerp . It was the eleventh three-cushion World Cup tournament in Belgium.

history

For the first time, the Belgian record world champion Raymond Ceulemans was able to win a World Cup tournament in his home country. It was his ninth and last World Cup victory. In the final he prevailed against Marco Zanetti with 3-1 sets . This is all the more remarkable because he also hosted the tournament as an organizer. The tournament was marked by the deaths of favorites. With the exception of Ceulemans, all the best-placed BWA world rankings were gradually eliminated. Thus, before the last BWA World Cup in Istanbul, the Belgian took the lead ahead of Torbjörn Blomdahl and Dick Jaspers .

The exact price money could not be determined from the documents. However, as in all BWA World Cup tournaments, it was at least 100,000 DM.
