The Davis Cup is a men's international team event which 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 founded the tournament up.

The reigning champions are Spain who defeated the Czech Republic in the fina.
