Contested annually since 1994, the Mosconi Cup is a Pool event which sees five of the best European and American players go head-to-head in a team format - similar to golf's Ryder Cup and bowling's Weber Cup.
This year marks the 28th edition of the tournament and with the overall score tied at 13-13, it's all to play for this week in London.
With the latest event just around the corner, here's a look at everything you need to know about the Mosconi Cup.
Who is playing at the Mosconi Cup?
Team Europe is captained this year by Dutchman Alex Lely who last year helped the team to their first title in two years.
His side is made up of world number one Albin Ouschan, promising Albanian youngster Eklent Kaci, former Mosconi Cup MVP Joshua Filler, wildcard pick Jayson Shaw and the 2019 World Pool Masters champion David Alcaide.
Team USA, on the other hand, have had to shuffle their roster due to Earl Strickland's possible Covid-19 infection and as a result, captain Jeremy Jones will step up to the table.
The 50-year-old will be joined by veteran Shane Van Boening, two-time Mosconi Cup MVP Skyler Woodward, two-time winner of the cup Tyler Styer and California's own Chris Reinhold.

Where is the Mosconi Cup being played?
For the first time since 2018, the Mosconi Cup will return to London's Alexandra Palace.
After playing last year's event without supporters at an empty Ricoh Arena in Coventry, the fans will return at half capacity for the 2021 edition of the tournament.
The Alexandra Palace has previously held the competition in 2016 and 2018 - with USA and Europe enjoying one win each.
Who won the Mosconi Cup last year?
Europe ended their two-year losing run after running riot in Coventry and beating the Americans 11-3.
Jayson Shaw was awarded the MVP award as Europe tore their opponents to shreds. In fact, the four-day tournament only lasted three as Alex Lely's side dispatched the USA with time to spare.
