The United Cup is professional tennis' newest team competition, having showcased the very best players in the men's and women's games for the first time in 2023. A joint venture between the ATP and WTA, the United Cup is a unique mixed-format tennis event, pitting national teams comprised of both men and women against each other at arenas in multiple Australian cities.
Held across December and January, this competition kickstarts the ATP and WTA seasons and provides a high-quality, competitive warm-up for the first major of the campaign, the Australian Open.
The inaugural United Cup was hosted in Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney between December 2022 and January 2023, and was won by the United States. A year later the event returned to the latter 2 cities, and was won by team Germany, before the USA regained their title in 2024-25.
As well as playing in pursuit of the glory that comes with representing one's nation and beating the world's best, the United Cup's participants also compete to win ATP and WTA ranking points, and a portion of an impressive prize pot!
