History

The Philippines competed in its first Fed Cup in 1974. Their best result was reaching the 16th round in 1982. [1] The team was set to participate at the 1979 Fed Cup, with their first game against the United States at the first round but withdrew from the tournament due to "administrative reasons". [2] The Philippines competed in Asia/Oceania Zone Group II in the 2011 Fed Cup.

The country was banned for two years by the International Tennis Federation due to "long-standing governance failings" within the Philippine Tennis Association. [3] [4] This meant that the Philippines was barred from the Billie Jean King Cup starting from the 2021 season. Philta's suspension was lifted in January 2024 after a new set of officers were elected in an ITF-ordered vote in December 2023. [4]

The Philippines returned to the Billie Jean King Cup in 2024 Asia/Oceania Zone Group III. [5] They won a promotion back to Group II after winning over Laos. [6]
