The three- cushion world cup 2001/5 was the fifth and final UMB / BWA world cup tournament in the sixteenth year of the three-cushion world cup. The tournament took place from 11 to 16 December 2001 in this discipline of carom billiards in Oosterhout . It was the tenth three-cushion World Cup tournament in Oosterhout.

history

In the fight for the overall World Cup 2000/2001 it got exciting again in Oosterhout. In the round of 16, Frédéric Caudron had match point with a 2-1 set lead. Caudron could not convert him but Blomdahl won with 3: 2 sets. In the quarterfinals he was also 1: 2 behind against Tayfun Taşdemir . Here, too, he turned the match in his favor. Since Dick Jaspers was eliminated in the round of 16 against Marco Zanetti , Blomdahl would be enough to make it to the final to win the title. He did that with a sure win against Richard Bitalis in the semifinals. This meant that Semih Saygıner had no chance of winning the title despite reaching the final. With this, Blomdahl won his 31st World Cup victory and his eighth overall World Cup title. Christian Rudolph played a good tournament . He could achieve the best average (GD) and the best individual average (BED). Since only two World Cups were played in 2000, the five tournaments from 2001 were part of the overall World Cup. All tournaments in 2001 were organized by the BWA.
