The Davis Cup is the premier international men's tennis team competition organized annually by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). The current format has a World Group of the top 18 national teams competing in a knockout style, with other nations competing in regional zones for promotion. The 2025 Davis Cup is the 113th edition of this tournament, featuring a new format where seven qualifying winners join the host nation in the Final 8 knockout stage held in Bologna, Italy from November 18 to 23 on indoor hard courts. In 2025, the Final 8 teams include the host Italy and seven qualifiers determined through a home-and-away second qualifying round held around September. Recent matches have seen teams like Argentina, Germany, and the United States competing for spots in the Final 8. The Davis Cup remains a high-profile team event in men's tennis with a rich history dating back to 1900, named after Dwight Davis who donated the original trophy.
