The United States men's national tennis team represents the United States in Davis Cup tennis competition, and is governed by the United States Tennis Association.

Contents

The United States competed in the inaugural Davis Cup against Great Britain in 1900. They are the most successful team ever to compete in the Davis Cup, winning the coveted title on 32 separate occasions closely followed by Australia with 28 victories.

History

The United States competed in the first Davis Cup in 1900, when a group of Harvard University students challenged the British. The team won this inaugural competition, then called the International Lawn Tennis Challenge, by defeating Great Britain 3–0 in Boston at the Longwood Cricket Club grounds. The format and trophy for the contest was designed and paid for by American player, Dwight Davis, whom the current competition is named after. [1]

The United States most recent win was in 2007, defeating Russia in the final.

The United States played in the World Group in all but one year (1988) since it was created in 1981, sharing this record with the Czech Republic, and holds the record for ongoing consecutive years in the World Group at 30 as of 2018.

Team records

The statistics reflect results since the 1900 Davis Cup, and are up-to-date as of the 2025 Davis Cup Qualifiers second round.

Key to eras and positions result

  • Challenge Round era (1900–1971): The previous Davis Cup Champion would have a bye to and host the Challenge Round Final. Thus the losing team in the Final (or Inter-zonal final) was the third-placed team. For the purposes of this table, the third placed team is grouped as semifinalists and the Zonal finalists (fourth and fifth placed teams) are grouped as quarterfinalists.
  • 1972–1980: The previous Davis Cup Champion now had to compete in all rounds. There were four zones consisting of America, Eastern, Europe A and Europe B, with the competition culminating in a four team knockout between zonal winners. The zonal finalists were the equivalent of Davis Cup quarterfinalists.
  • Since 1981: World Group (1981–2018), Davis Cup Finals (from 2019) consisting of 16 or 18 teams.
  • Abbreviations: POW = Winner of World Group Playoff (1981–2018); POL = Lost in World Group Playoff (1981–2018); GS = Did not advance past the Group Stage of the Davis Cup Finals (from 2019)
