Tennis / Davis Cup
| List of Winners | Prior to 1972 | Most Titles | Titles Players |
The Davis Cup, the most important tennis competition by nations in the World, is the largest annual team competition in sport, celebrating its Centenary in 1999. Founded by Dwight Davis, the Davis Cup began as a challenge match between the United States and the British Isles, which was held at the Longwood Cricket Club in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Davis himself played in the inaugural Davis Cup tie, steering his country to the first of many title victories. Until 2019 each tie was played over three days and consisted of four singles and one doubles played by the top-two players of each nation. The best of five set matches were played, the host team changing every time two teams competed together. The top 16 nations competed for the Davis Cup Trophy in the World Group while the remaining countries battle for promotion to the elite World Group from three regional zones. Since 2019, the top teams compete in the Davis Cup Finals in a single venue for a week in ties of best-of-three consisting of two singles and one doubles matches. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition was merged with the 2021 one.
NOTE: Official winners by the International Tennis Federation [ITF]. Winners are considered all players nominated for the final tie, either if they play a match or not. Players of the doubles rubber are separated by a slash [/]. Since 2019, official winners are players nominated for the Davis Cup Finals.
