The 2010 World Team Championship (short WTC 2010) was the first edition of the World Team Championship which was sanctioned by the World Pool-Billiard Association, which ran from January 30, 2010, to February 6, 2010, in Hanover, Germany. A total prize fund of $398,000 was distributed, with the winning team receiving $100,000. The Great Britain 1 team of Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Imran Majid, Karl Boyes and Mark Gray won the event with a 4–1 victory over the Philippines.[1][2] It was the first iteration of the World Team Championship.
In the quarter-finals, the match between Britain 1 and China reached a playoff. After a "titanic struggle", the match reached a score of 27–25 in a race to 6 racks with the winning rack from Peach.[3][4]
