Davis Cup Returns: The World Cup of Tennis Comes to Palm Beach

Founded in 1900, the Davis Cup is the premier team competition in men’s professional tennis and the largest annual international team event in the sport. Managed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and often referred to as the “World Cup of Tennis,” the 2025 edition features a record 156 participating nations. The USTA oversees Team USA’s participation.

In 2025, the United States qualified for the elite Davis Cup World Group, featuring the top 14 nations competing for the coveted trophy. After defeating Chinese Taipei in the First Round, Team USA will face Czechia in the Second Round Qualifier—also known as the Davis Cup Final 8—on September 12–13, 2025, at the Delray Beach Tennis Center.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission successfully secured the bid to host this world-class event. The winner will advance to the Davis Cup Final, scheduled for November 18–23 in Bologna, Italy.
