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