The 2025 Laver Cup was the eighth edition of the Laver Cup, a men's tennis tournament between teams from Europe and the rest of the world. Held at the Chase Center in San Francisco, United States from 19-21 September, it was held on a hard court on the arena floor. Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi served as team captains, both for the first time.[1] Team World defeated Team Europe 15–9 to earn their third title.[2]
