The three-cushion world championship for national teams in 2010 was the 24th edition of this tournament, which has been held annually in the three- cushion billiard variant since 1981 , and for the first time 24 teams took part. It took place from February 25 to 28, 2010 in Viersen , which has been a permanent venue for the World Cup since 1990. The winner was the team from Turkey and ended the Swedes' 5-year series of titles. They beat Spain 2-0 in the final. It was the third title for Turkey after 2003 and 2004. The bronze medal was shared by the teams from Korea and the Netherlands (Team A). The best set (1 recording) of 15,000 was played by the Colombian Carlos Campiño (highest series 15).
