The Davis Cup (known as the International Lawn Tennis Challenge until 1945) is an annual tennis tournament for male players that has been held since 1900. The tournament sees players competing for their country in a series of singles and doubles matches over the course of three days. The countries are divided into groups based upon their location or performance in previous years. The Davis Cup World Group is the top level of the competition and features matches between players from the top 16 countries at the start of the year. Countries that lose their first round match face a relegation play-off against winning countries from the continental zones. World Group winning countries progress to the quarter-finals. Nations have to win a further three ties in order to claim the position of Davis Cup Champions.
The British Isles (now known as Great Britain) lost the first competition in 1900, defeated by the United States 3–0 in the final in Boston, Massachusetts. Great Britain is the current defending champion, having defeated Belgium in the final in 2015.
