The Davis Cup Betting is a men's international team event and was first staged in 1899 when Harvard University organised a tournament against the British. In 1945 the tournament was officially called the Davis Cup following the death of Dwight Davis who was one of the original Harvard players that set the tournament up. The similar event for women is the Federation Cup.
