The Davis Cup is men’s tennis’s top international team event. It is organised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is held yearly in a knock-out style involving teams from competing countries. The organisers refer to it as the “World Cup of Tennis,” and the winning team is known as the World Champion squad. The tournament started in 1900 as a challenge between the United Kingdom and the United States. By 2016, 135 countries had entered teams in the competition. The most successful countries in the tournament’s history are the United States (winner of 32 titles and runner-up 29 times) and Australia (winning 28 titles, including four with New Zealand as Australasia, and finishing as runners-up 19 times). Russia is the current champion, having defeated Croatia to earn their third title in 2021.
