Ronny Huybrechts (born 20 July 1965) is a Belgian darts player who won his two-year PDC tour card on the third day of the 2013 Tour Qualifying School. In his first year on tour he reached the semi-finals of the European Championship which included a televised 10–5 win over 16-time world champion Phil Taylor as well as being a losing finalist in a Players Championship event on the 2013 PDC Pro Tour. He is the elder brother of fellow darts player Kim Huybrechts who is currently in the top 16 on the Order of Merit. Together they reached the final of the 2013 PDC World Cup of Darts where they were beaten by the English pair of Taylor and Adrian Lewis. In November 2013, they became the first brothers to compete in a televised darts match when they faced off in the last 16 of the Grand Slam of Darts.
Ronny and his brother Kim Huybrechts became the first brothers to play in the World Cup of Darts in February 2013 and advanced from Group H courtesy of a 5–0 win over Hungary. They then pulled off a shock by defeating the Australian pairing of Simon Whitlock and Paul Nicholson, who were the runners up in the event last year, 5–1 with a combined average of 101.08 and then beat Croatia in the quarter-finals, with Ronny defeating Robert Marijanović 4–1 in his singles match. They required a doubles match to see off Finland in the semi-finals which they won 4–0 with a 105.47 average, the highest in the three-year history of the event, to reach the final and a meeting with the English pair of Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis. Ronny lost both of his singles matches (0–4 to Taylor and 2–4 to Lewis) meaning Kim had to beat Taylor to force a doubles match to decide the title, but he lost 1–4. The brothers dedicated their run in the tournament to their late father, Ludo, who died in December 2012.
