The 2025 Davis Cup is the 113th edition of the Davis Cup, a tournament between national teams in men's tennis. It is part of the 2025 ATP Tour calendar.[1]
The tournament's format was changed this year. Under the new format, the September stage (Qualifiers second round) will feature seven home-or-away ties held over two days. The seven winning teams will join the host nation in the Final 8 knock-out stage in November.[2][3] The host country will be awarded a spot in the Final 8 as long as it is ranked in the top 50 nations or one of its players has an individual ranking in the top 10. If these criteria are not met, the last spot in the Final 8 will be reallocated to a different country as a wild card.
