Five-pins or five-pin billiards (Italian cinque birilli) is a carom billiards cue sport, popular in Italy, Switzerland, Spain and parts of Latin America, with international, televised professional tournaments.
History
Until 1980, the game (with some rules differences) was played on a pocket billiards table, but professional and regulated amateur play today exclusively uses pockless tables. Also, in former periods, it was common for the object ball to be smaller than the cue balls. Professional competition began in 1965.
Equipment
The game is played on a pocketless billiards table, with standardized dimensions of 284 cm (approximately 9-1/3 ft.) by 142 cm (approx. 4-2/3 ft.) Like most other carom games, it requires three billiard balls of equal diameter, a red object ball, a plain white cue ball for the first player or team, and a yellow or spotted-white cue ball for the second player or team.

Rules
Though there are variants in Central and South America, the Italian five-pins rules are the best codified. Because the Italian-rules championships are international, televised events, and often hosted outside of Italy, these rules are the global de facto standard..
